"and these days, i wish i was 6 again..."

today as i watched my 6 year olds play in the "Fan Dao Le"  or "Fun Dazzle" room, i really missed being a kid!

(the Fun Dazzle room is basically a trampoline and tunnels all put together, kind of like this but add the trampoline in the middle) as i did my rounds of the room watching the kids, i see a few of the girls and one of the boys with looks of pure AGONY on their faces. i am like... oh great, what now, who is hurt? who will i need to struggle to talk to in english? these kids play so rough it didn't surprise me. i walk over to April and say, "April are you okay? What happened?" She looks at me surprised but still in "character". JJ replies for her "Miss Jami, she fine. she is playing. leo is a monster and got her!" wow. i can't believe i fell for this. but seriously, the look on their faces looked like something was seriously wrong!

oh.... to pretend like that again. and to keep up the pretending for a solid half hour. to get so lost in your imagination... i forget what that feels like. when i was a kid i had the BIGGEST imagination. i am still one of the biggest day dreamers i know. but day dreaming and playing pretend are totally different.
i watched them play and play the entire "sports time". more joined in and i continued to watch the "agony" on their faces.
the monster had got them... and got them good. :)
i love kids so much.
i envy them, honestly.

and wishing i was 6 again is not gonna get me anywhere... especially with the big TWO FOUR coming up on wednesday. i'm definitely not getting any younger haha. let's say hello to officially becoming a "twenty something" :)
