Believe it or not, it's inevitable - people grow older. No matter how hard you try, the human body gets older. You can try and stay young by using wrinkle creams or dressing younger or living the life of a youthful chap, but reality is that you can't escape those pestering things in life that remind you that you're no longer 12 years old.
I often reflect back to a time when I didn't know the true meaning of income tax or what a credit card bill was or even that you had to change the oil in your car based on a regular, responsible schedule. My only concern was if I'd be found during the neighborhood hide n' seek game or if there was another way of staying out longer even if the sun had gone down an hour ago and I was already pushing my luck. Life seemed simpler back then and maybe it's because each home didn't have a laptop computer linked to the world or cell phones weren't in everyone's pockets. Regardless, times were easier with less responsibility.
So, what was it today that made me reflect on life as a child? Scrubbing my non-self cleaning oven.
Growing up does suck!
