Okay, I'll admit it, being an adult sucks. I hate all the responsibility, the huge list of "have to's" that get in the way of my "want to's", the high blood preassure, the creaking of all my joints, and the food that you have to eat because it's "healthy" and "good for you". That's why I've decided never to grow up...
Now, don't get me wrong, some things about being an adult are pretty exciting, but somewhere along the line, everyone forgot to have fun. A few weeks ago, we had a snow storm, nothing real major, but it canceled school. Facebook was full of posts complaining that it wasn't "that bad" out, but where were the posts about snowball fights or building a snowman? I know some people were at work, but what about when you came home?
I can hear everyone now, "adults don't play in the snow"...
Why not? Where is it written that a grown up can't go out and build a snowman? Couldn't reality TV do without you for a night?

Okay, maybe going out in the freezing cold isn't for you, but the point is, why do adults walk around like they have a stick up their butt? The other day my daughter was in the car singing at the top of her lungs and getting ALL the words wrong, I asked her why she was singing if she didn't know the words. Her answer...Because I want to. No being self-conscious about it or anything. She liked the song and wanted to sing it, who cares that she didn't know the words.
First off, judging by the looks I get at stoplights, I think I'm the only adult that still sings along to the radio and I don't understand why. Are people really that afraid of what other people will think about them?
So, I guess that's my whole point. I don't ever want to grow up to the point I can't enjoy a good snowball fight or singing in the car. Life is too short and I don't want to spend it being serious and stressed out all the time, that's no way to live. So, that's why I'll never grow up.
