01. Having endless imagination.
The world is at your feet and you can still be whatever you want to be, what could be better than that?

02. Playing outside until the streetlights come on.
For some reason, the streetlights always came on later on the streets I happened to be playing on, or at least that is what I told my mom.

03. Having schoolyard crushes.
And having plenty of them!!!

04. Getting to stay up late.
There was nothing better than when the weekend or summer came around and bedtimes disappeared.

05. The joy of Holidays.
Holidays just aren’t the same as an adult as they are for a kid.  Christmas, Halloween, Easter - anything that gained you presents or candy!

06. Summertime swimming.
We would swim all summer long - at the beach, in the pool.  I am surprised we did not grow gills and become fish.

07. Taking bathes.
You just don’t have time to take bathes as an adult like you did as a kid.  Some nights we would stay in the tub till our fingers looked like shriveled little raisins.

08. Watching cartoons.
Don’t you miss the Saturday morning cartoon marathons?  Or coming home after school, throwing your backpack down and wathing the after school cartoons?

09. Having character themed underwear.
I will never forget my Wonder Woman under-roos!

10. Loads of energy.
I could stay outside running around forever and never get tired.  What I would not give for that energy now.
