thoughts on my cousin's post

My cousin's post was about changing his ID address and how he really doesnt want her little girls to grow up.
I always felt the same way about kids. I really enjoy seeing them play, act silly, be all innocent. I've always told all the kids I babysat: I dont want you to turn 4 (or 5, or 6 or whatever!). They're so innocent and so cute, and sweet.

May be it's just us... young people who dont want their kids to grow up.

I was home today. My pills make me dizzy so I can't drive. I heard the sermon from D's church -awesome sermon- and suddenly i heard: what number is between 1 and 3?
That would be my boss... asking that to one of the twins.

While I dont want them to grow up, to be going to pre-k, or kinder, all their parents want is for them to grow up. To be 5. To go to school. To be in college. They're always talking about the future and how they'll do this and that and blah blah blah.
And I dont get it.

The twins enjoy going to the park and be themselves. Play around. Make up stories. They don't wanna be practicing math, or learning sounds and how to say certain words. They'll have the next 12 years (or more) to do that.

Ya'll know I'm gonna meet my nephew and niece. I dont wanna wait for them to be 10 to meet them. I want to have memories of them as little kids. Why is that some parents just want their kids to grow up? to skip this beautiful part of being children and be so innocent and silly????

Just a thought.
