Last night we saw the movie "Grown Ups". It made me think......
Why do we feel the need to act or pretend to be grown up all the time?
How often do we do things because "everybody else does it". That is what little kids do..NOT grown ups.
Grown ups should think for themselves, consider their options, and make a prudent and intelligent move.
Another point the movie made...the fact that our children are not given the honor of playing outside for FUN!. We plug them into every imaginable "organized" activity, play movies for them from our homes to Walmart, and encourage them to desire EVERY video game on the planet. YET...we are horrified when they will not carry on a conversation (WITH REAL WORDS) with us at the dinner table. Technology should be a tool...not a lifeline.
Sooo...I have to get off that soap box....makes my head hurt.
In any event...sometime very soon...unplug, tune in to those you love, do the things you loved to do as a kid, introduce your children to childhood....they ( and you ) will never forget it!
Blessings to you!
