News Flash, people. I'm an adult.
A real grown-up who is able to do or not do and say or not say whatever I want. Growing up, it seemed I would never get to this point, and now all of the sudden, I've been there for more than 16 years. And somewhere along the way God has entrusted me with two children, and now somehow I'm responsible for their lives as well. How scary is that?
While I like being an independent, decision-making, responsible person, there are so many things that kids get by with simply because they are kids and we as adults let them. So, I've decided to reinstate some of those acceptable kid behaviors and start living my life with a bit more simplicity.
For starters I'm gonna start showing people exactly how I feel the very moment I feel it. That's right. I'm reviving the good, old-fashioned, full blown screaming, kickin', arm flailing, rolling in the floor hissy fit. Yep, that's what I'm going to do. If you happen to witness one of my new temper tantrums, just step over me and ignore it. It'll pass within a couple of minutes, or maybe longer, depending of the severity of the alleged trauma.
What a freeing feeling it will be. I'll be so much less stressed, and everyone will know exactly where they stand with me. It'll take all the guess-work out of being my friend. If you happen to irritate or disagree with me, you'll know immediately. I'll throw my little fit, and I'll feel better. We all do it inside anyway, so why not just get it all out in the open and see how much better we feel?
I've toyed with the idea of including slaps, kicks, and occasional "you're not my friend anymore" statements, but those might be for the more advanced users. I'll save those until I perfect my tantrums.
Good gosh this is gonna be a ton of fun. Who's with me?
