Today while I was volunteering at the Crisis Nursery I played lava monster with the kids for like two hours. Might seem boring to some, but oh my goodness I had a BLAST. I was running around chasing half a dozen kids, climbing playground equipment, going down the slides, & sometimes chased in return by the half a dozen kids. I seriously loved it! Little kids are so fun. You don't need to impress them. They don't care. All they want is someone to play with them & give them a little positive attention. That's all you have to do to win them over & they love you. Too bad it's not that easy with adults. Life would be way more entertaining if all you had to do to become friends with someone would be to chase them around & go down the slides a few times with them. But now that I am visualizing that in my head I am getting real awkward scenarios that would occur. So maybe playing tag with another adult is a poor idea.....
Anyways, I had a blast just playing with the kids & reverting back to my child like ways temporarily. I think that everybody should try doing it every once in a while. It's a good way to spend time & remind you that life doesn't have to be as stressful as we adults like to make it be.
