Let’s Play Four
Square!
Who said you can’t stroll through Toys R Us with a ridiculously
wide smile as you recollect old memories? Who said you couldn’t
join in a friendly game of four square with some merry primary
schoolers? Who said it’s absurd to hang upside down from the
monkey bars until recess was over? Right… Maybe not the last one…
You get the point. The others were pretty fun though. Just because
you are no longer physically and biologically a child, it is not a crime
to act or think like one. Just don’t get too carried away; you may have
to do homework later. Sorry, just had to remind you.
Despite what others think, it is never wrong to play with teddy
bears once in a while. Also there is nothing wrong with terrorising
the toy section of your local Target. Whatever floats your boat. Buy
your baby sister a Carebear – then keep it for yourself. Feeling
generous? Splurge on a massive pink unicorn; your new best friend.
Maybe it will even replace your iPhone, who knows. No shame in
doing so.
Childhood may have escaped from our hands for now; but it is
not lost forever. There is no need to rewind time to chase something
which has already supposedly disintegrated. Instead, create a new
childhood for yourself; enjoy life to the fullest; like a child.
