1. April 15th is just another day. While all the adults are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, to kids it’s just another date. It seems like every year my taxes get more and more complicated. I can remember when I was in college, I could do one of those E-Z forms, and get someone to do it for free. Now I’m filing all kids of forms, and I have to sit in the office for like an hour just answering questions. Oh, to be a kid again!
2. No one cares if you read comics. It is normal for kids to like cartoons and comics. So why do I get such strange looks? So what I collect comics, and can have a deep meaningful conversation on how the Marvel world compares to the social issues of today!
3. I could hit! No, it isn’t the way to deal with your issues. But when I was in elementary school and boys tried to get fresh I would punch them. And it felt good! 
4. I didn’t pay attention to the news. Kids today are so happy-go lucky. They have no idea why the Presidential race can affect them, or why the freak tornadoes in the mid-west are disturbing, or worrying if Korea intends on using those nuclear weapons. 
5. You could go swing in the park. Come on, you know you miss having someone push you on the swing! 
6. Who cares about spelling bees! I used to hate them, and totally didn’t care about them! Now as a blogger, you have no idea how frustrating it is spell checking stuff or seeing the stupid red line! (See this funny clip from Akeelah and the Bee)



7. You could be a princess in the future. Remember drawing a picture of what you wanted to be when you grew up? You jumped from being a princess, to an astronaut, to a archeologist. I still want to be all those thing!
8. My parents where infallible! No one was a strong as my dad! No one was a full of energy as my mom. They knew all the answers and solved all the problems. They worked, ran a house, handled business, and still had enough energy to hug and kiss me! Now, they are bending over, a bit scared of the neighborhood they live in. They spend more time at the doctor then then the theater. It’s sad.
9. You could play with anyone. As adults people put up so many walls, that we bar ourselves from each other. When you were kids you didn’t really worry about the sexual orientation, color, political views or religious outlooks of your playmates. You just played.
10. You had more years ahead of you then behind you. And that is awesome. 

I know I’m awful at these things, but some how, still the world turns…

10. Finishing a novel. Back in the day I used to be able to read a book in about two hours. Now because of time and circumstances it seems like it takes me two months. One day I will pill finish who killed Alex Cross!

9. Returning phone calls. I absolutely hate talking on the phone! I have literally set a reminder to call my parents. I hate it when my phone rings, and the likelihood of me calling you back is about zero. That is why God created text messaging! But I guess in order to have a social life I should on that…

8. Paying attention to boring meetings. Just because of what I do for work and my lifestyle, it seems like I’m always sitting down listening or paying attention to something. I cannot stand sitting and listening or watching really boring dry presentation. I also cannot stand meetings that take longer than they have roo. I can’t even fake an interested face. It’s almost guaranteed that if you look at me in the audience, and you’re boring, I’m sleep!

7. Spelling! It has never been my strong suit. Is it I before E except after C? I think so, but I’m really not sure. To this day it’s very easy to catch me making spelling errors. I completely given up on becoming a good spiler!

6. Golf! I live in sunny Florida. Beautiful golf ranges abound and there’s lots of opportunity’s to get involved with society give you golf. However I am in absolutely horrid golf player. I can’t even play golf on my Wii! I did beat my hubby at mini golf, if that counts for anything…

5. Singing. Can I sing? Yes. Can I sing well? No. I know my limitations.

4. Shopping for clothes. I know there is a stereotype that most women love to go shoe shopping. Yeah that’s so not me. I can’t stand going clothes or shoes shopping! Now I love fashion and I love being fierce, but I hate going into malls and stores. I probably do more clothes shopping online than anything. I can never seem to find what I want in my style and size when I go shopping in stores. I’m just a really bad clothes shopper.

3. Any sort of flipping or tumbling. I am a dancer who loves hip-hop, breaking, popping, and crumping. However since I was little girl I’ve been terrified of flipping backwards. I just know I’ll bust my head open. It’s goal that by the end of this year I’ll do a cartwheel!

2. Putting things together. Am I the only one that opens the box, lays out all the parts, carefully follow the instructions, compares to the diagram, and still end up with left over pieces?!? No, just me?

1. Telling old people “no”. I’m a sucker for a granny who gives me some sugar! No matter how busy, tired, or pissy I feel, a sweet old lady can get me to unload the groceries from there car. Doesn’t sound like an issue… Except when they take advantage. And some of them really do take advantage! They just better be happy that drugstore peppermints are my krypotinte!
