Kids for a minute,.. or two

    Let's be kids for a minute, imagine yourself living in a world where dipping your hand in paint and dragging it across a piece of paper was what we called art. The only thing we watched on tv were cartoons and we glared in bewilderment each time the house gathered to watch Oprah. To be honest, each family had that program that every adult in the family watched during our prime tv time. Mine just happend to be The Oprah Winfrey Show. I missed over 200 episodes worth of 2d animations as my family sat down to watch their programs, so i guess i know who to blame for my addiction to cartoons at my age.
   Kids don't have problems , we had people at home to do the worrying, forgetfull minds to do the forgeting and filled with so much innocence we didn't even notice all the violence in the world. What happened to us you ask? (that's if you asked yourself the question, if you didn't, fear not this blog is for you)

We woke up. Believe it or not all the days we spent going to school were only preparation to expose the mammal within us. Think about it who sleeps the whole day and still gets good grades and always has food on the table, sounds like something out of a dream right? My heart-felt sympathy goes  out to anyone who had a rough childhood because no kid deserved that. What makes my sarcastic theory even more realistic is that no one ever remembers how it happened. One day you wonder why everyone watches that program you hate, the next day you associate with it. We all just woke one day with one too many issues to deal with...

  Don't get me wrong, growing up is a good thing. We get to become indepent and create kids of our own that makes the cycle complete. But the question bobs up, what is growing up? If we are to ask each adult their opinion the responses would defer. To some its a matter of developing a conscience, being afraid to do the things you freely did as a kid and to others its a matter of following your dreams. Growing up is a time when you take responsibility of your actions. The cycle continues each day as kids learn the definition of growing up from the people around them, now that you know its a cycle, are you ready to take responsibility for how the kids around you define growing up? Simply put, Have you grown Up? Food for thought
