Once the child was fully grown, he soon realized that there was a lot of work involved with adulthood. He got a job and paid bills. It was all very annoying to the boy. He had seen his parents and other adults do all these fun things while he was stuck doing boring child things. But as it turned out, being an adult was a lot more work.
And so the adult decided to be a child again. It was not hard to do. He simply stopped taking things seriously. He complained a lot and spent all of his money on fun things. Being an adult was no longer interesting to him.
The child was glad that he only bothered with adulthood on a trial basis. Now he was free to live his life the way he wanted. Oddly, the child was the only one who seemed to know he was a child. Everyone else still saw him as an adult. Didn't they get the memo?

First of all, the image is perfect for this blog... and is HILARIOUS! This story is actually the story of most people. Their politics and religion/science are all based on avoiding responsibility and making time for play. Sad that this funny story is sadly true.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people just can't grow up. I love the pic too.
DeleteBecoming an adult seems like a such a drag from a child's perspective. Growing up and taking responsibility is not "fun" and many shy away from this concept. However the satisfaction of becoming who you are is beyond all childish things.
ReplyDeleteIt means work though!
DeleteAdulthood is not something you get to try. When the time comes, you are thrust into that role. What you do with it is up to you.
ReplyDeleteWhy does the guy in the picture look familiar?
