A Return to Childhood?

[lls_mutant]

It's sad when you find how childhood pleasures have changed. Examples:

1.) I am eating a Tootsie Pop. The flavor? Pomegranate. (On the flip side, you know a flavor is becoming prosaic when it becomes a Tootsie Pop flavor.)

2.) I taught my children to roll down a hill today. It was hysterical and a load of fun, but after five times I was sure I was going to throw up. (I didn't.) But it's not that big a hill.

3.) I also had Oreos today. Chocolate double stuff cream. THIS difference I approve of wholeheartedly.

4.) When I try to go down a spiral slide, my feet get stuck and make me go really, really slow.

5.) When I see a sandbox, I think one of two things: 1.) please play there for a long time! or 2.) please don't get it in the house!!!


I'm getting OLD. ::sigh::

1. Pomegranate? Really? I'm not "old", but I know that we never had that flavor. In any candy. That's not a candy flavor.

Whoa, Pomegranate Tootsie pops? that's just Not Right. (Neither are blue M&Ms!!)

Yeah, every time I jump on a trampoline it feels like my spine's being compressed. Not comfortable anymore. :-(

Whenever *I* see a sandbox I think "that needs to be covered or all their neighbourhood cats are going to start using it!"

Getting old is no good!

Yeah, I'm always thinking about the safety of stuff - or about how dirty you're going to get doing X - that I never worried about as a kid. :P

Pomegranite flavored Tootsie Pops? o_O

Pomegranate Tootsie Pop? Sign me up! I also agree about Oreos. YUM.

I bet your boys had fun learning how to roll down hills. That was my favorite thing EVER as a kid.

Argh.

My mouse was on super turbo rebellion and I accidentally deleted your email with the story file.

Can you resend?
