I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, dreams, the imagination, the Tooth Fairy, a kiss that makes a boo-boo go away, making angels in the snow, and that my dad and G-d are the strongest people in the world.
There are a few more at the source. .

i'll jump straight on that bandwagon.

...as for:
I want to think M&M's are better than money because you can eat them.
??? aren't they???

I want to lie under a big oak tree and watch the ants march up its trunk.
That's what I use to do daily.
I want to think that everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible.
Yeah!
I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things in life again.
That's what I am already.
All my luck lacks is an understanding nanny.

I used to collect fool's gold when I was little. I was told it was worthless, but it didn't matter to me. It was still GOLD and I was rich! Ah, those were the days...

I learned when I was a teenager, that some of the things that were proclaimed as essential by adults, like credit cards, check books, loans, amongst other things were in fact insane, and were only considered essential, to avoid admitting being debt trapped. Success was subjective, and by avoiding buying things I thought I needed, but really only wanted, I saved a fortune. I once dreamed of being able to buy a whole bag of sweets, and now I can, but now I like vegetables just as much. Children have no trouble believing there is more to what we describe as reality, than we can ever understand. As I have gotten older I've only become more sure this is true. Often I close my eyes, and and imagin...

I mostly hang out with people who love God and flowers and babies and old movies and chocolate and bicycles and horses and... well, just about anything better than money. The best thing about a dollar bill is that you can fold it so that George Washington turns into a mushroom. (Okay, I admit that I am easily entertained!)

@health1 - gee, your very first comment, and it's a cheap and nasty one!

It is pretty childish to howl at grown-up talk.

I want to nominate TNCBT as PRESIDENT of the United States; we need to go back to the basics and only kids understand how to be the best and have the most fun.

I want to giggle again, ride monkey vines across a creek; fall off the monkey vine and giggle as I hit the water; catch salamanders; and just plain old have fun running through the woods, laying on the ground and looking up at the sky figuring out what we could see or imagine that we saw in each and every cloud in the sky.

Thank you TNCBT, you made my day with this clip!



You have my Vote!

Hahaha, you guys are insane. Thanks for the vote of confidence though but heck, I don't want to be president! I'd probably go do something foolish like raise corporate taxes, cut CO2 emissions and provide healthcare for everyone or something silly like that and can you just imagine the uproar when I shut down Guantanamo and banned all torture? I'd have the military on my case too when I end the wars without letting them stay the course and win more hearts and minds. I'd probably be impeached! Or coup d'etat'ed even! Ugh... Naaa, we'd better let the elitists do the job. I am, after all, just one of the sheeple. I just happen to baaaah a lot. .

Now... there's a monkey vine in the woods out back here too and I wanna go swimming! Yeeehaw!

Oh, I'd of course also include M&M's as a basic human right. That goes without saying...

Well... Like M&M's it would be a basic human right. With the caveat that people don't force other people to have any M&M's if they're not hungry, then they can have as many as they want and they should be freely available.

Some consider M&M's a comfort food, others believe it an essential food source. My administration would recognise the people's freedom to comprise their own diets, with no governmental interference or surveillance of how many M&M's they eat, or not. The M&M factory does not get to decide about wars etc though. Some may slip and hurt themselves, if too many M&M's are strewn thoughtlessly around and not enough M&M's would just sour up our morale. I think we, as a world lead...

You don't have to resign as an adult to enjoy some of the simpler things. Just do them.

Also, there will be no talk of the yellow M&M's being any better than the green ones.
Oh, but TNCBT, you know that the yellow ones are the best.......out of the whole bunch.........Praise Be.........LOL

I really do think you should reconsidered.........PLEASE!

Pretty Please, with a cherry on top!

Make it a strawberry k9 and perhaps I'll reconsider.

Hmm... did I just accept a bribe or was that a campaign contribution?

Awwwww TNCBT, you did make my day too with this clip, and special thought for Pokkets, for his wonderful comment.
TNCBT hun, please run for Prez and i'll come live in the USA.

Awww, Sweetie, no can do. I have the whole "Arnold Schwarzenegger" clause going against me. I'm not allowed to be Prez, but I like the sound of "KING OF THE WOOOORLD" much better anyway. (That would be Queen in my case, but that's irrelevant.) Anyway, after you become my worldly trophy "First Husband", I was planning on getting you somewhere nice. (This was supposed to be a wedding surprise actually.) What would you like for Christmas honey? Sweden? Greece? Madagascar? .

I love fun, but my manner is mildish.
You are petulant, so Oscar Wilde-ish.
You will play the curmudge—
I'll be playful. They'll judge
That I'm childlike, while you are just childish.

mike scholtes
To be childlike is charming to see,
As compared to a childish ami.
Being childlike is huggable,
Acting childish is sluggable.
Your damned childishness really bugs me.

Words of Wiserick:
Adult is the stage of a fly
Devoted to breeding. That's why
Until life turns so fleeting,
Larval flies pursue eating
To ensure enough fuel's in supply.

mephistopheles



Happy birthday, you're 18 at last.
You're an adult; your childhood has passed.
But inside, still, the child
That was born free and wild
Needs to guard you from ageing too fast.

psheil (Peter Sheil)



When a film deals with sex, straight or gay,
In a juvenile, prurient way;
When it's crass, immature
And inane, then be sure,
"It is adult," its makers will say.

cauliflower



An adult is a grown-up; however,
You can be just as childish as ever.
