Kids Do The Darndest Things

I LOVE KIDS!! I think they are so fun to be around. I enjoy how kids are really their own person (atleast until they get older and really care what people think). For the most part, with kids what you see is what you get. They aren't as guarded nor do they hide who they are as much.
Often times, now that I'm an adult (whoa that's scary to say), I feel like there is this pressure to comform to some norm in which you do things because you have to or because it's "nice" whether you want to or not. Most kids just say what they feel and don't think about what others would say. For instance, I remember being at church with my nephew when he was around 3 or 4 years of age. He wanted to play drums but our youth pastor Ivan (who doesn't necessarily have the best tact) told him to get off of the drums. My nephew, being 2 years of age now that I think about responded, " I don't like you." I kind of chuckled under my breath because I thought it was funny. I knew that, even if I didn't like someone, I wouldn't be bold enough to tell them that. I would go about as normal as possible with trying to be nice but feeling because I'm not being true to what I am about.
I know you might think I'm wacko but do let me finish.
I understand what growing up is about. I am beginning to see that as an adult sometimes you have to do what you don't want to do so that you will be able to do what you want to do. When I was younger, I resented that statement and it shoes in my life now because I'm trying to play catch up.
Part of growing up is giving now's pleasure so that you may enjoy your hard earned spoils later. In that respect I'd say we have a young society because we make foolish decisions with our money, time, and possesions. This youthful thought mentality is the reason why there is so much debt, adultery, pornography addictions, ect..
But wait Will!! You were just saying how much you loved kids.
I love kids because of their authenticity although most of the time it's unplanned. In this respect I would like to be more like a child. But in the respect of choosing to live and authentic life I would like to be like and adult. I'm not sure if this blog makes sense but I was in the spur of the moment and had some thoughts. If you have any comments do share them.
