growing up...
today i carried a one day old baby in my arms... it belongs to the proud new parents of Mr. and Mrs. wee... sorrie not it... stephen... it was the first time i held something so fragile that was alive in my arms... watching it stick it's tongue out makes me wonder if i had been like that when i was a one day old child... it's eyelids were excessively large and covered his eyes which enabled him the sleep all the time...
seeing the baby made me feel old... a friend felt sad because she was turning 21... turning old... for the first time in my life i truely felt old... old and at a lost... i had lost the innocence that came with being a child... and the extended sleeping hours...
unfortunately growing up came with a price... it gives you the freedom to make your own decisions sure... but it also takes away the joys of living the simple life... like the toys'r'us ad would go," i don't wanna grow up i wanna be a toys'r'us kid..."

Hey Al,
Don't feel so bad... all of us are turning 21 this year ya? Take to heart that we're crossing the treshold into adulthood as the society brands it... and expects from us. Let us live these days as adults and think like so. :)
-Childhood friend,
Ernest.
