Borrowed Post - 22 things from Childhood
>> Monday, April 20, 2009
Wandering around the web, I found this great list; I'd change a few details, of course, but the idea is the same for men and women, I believe.
I've included the link of the original site, and the author's name , so hopefully he doesn't mind that I'm sharing here, :)
22 Things I Wish Carried Over From Childhood Into Adulthood
by Stephen Altrogge
1. Laughing at the same joke 15-20 times in a row (particularly if the punch line involves the word “booger”)
2. Wearing a fanny pack without embarrassment
3. Fighting with pillows
4. Thinking it’s normal to wear sweatpants all day every day
5. Experiencing “Lucky Charm” euphoria
6. Getting rewarded for doing house chores
7. Owning matching “Star Wars” pajamas, pillow case, and sheets
8. Not having an email address
9. Getting so excited about my birthday that I can’t sleep
10. Stating my age in precise terms (e.g “I’m seven and a quarter years old)
11. Receiving exuberant applause for minor accomplishments, such as learning to use a toilet
12. Eating an entire box of Whoppers without experiencing any serious side effects
13. Watching Saturday morning cartoons…all day
14. Getting cold, hard cash every time I lost a tooth
15. Being proud of the fact that I was gaining weight
16. Having only one goal for the entire day: reach level 17 in “Duck Hunt”
17. Reading books like “The Boxcar Children” and “The Hardy Boys”
18. Wishing I was one of “The Boxcar Children” or “The Hardy Boys”
19. Knowing that Santa Claus isn’t real but not being allowed to divulge the secret to uniformed children
20. Spending all my disposable income on a single item, such as a G.I. Joe
21. Imagining myself as various heroes – Superman, Batman, Martin Sheen
22. Being fully convinced that I would be an NBA star because I could dribble between my legs

Great list!!
make sure you go download the free scripture memorizing songs he has to offer. I'm thinking about buying the cds. :o)
HA These were fun!!
I guess no. 4 is the only one I can lay claim to having in adulthood, too. ;-)
Actually, the author of that list must be more the age of my son than me. I believe I do recall him having matching Star Wars sheets and pj's, and GI Joes were big on his list of things to buy.
On second thought, I think I can pretty much lay claim to still having no. 1, too. ;-Þ
What a sweet/funny list, and I agree with the #4 :) #8 would be a big problem for me now ...
Oh, and re. reheating the PS Chicken ... I generally just move it from the freezer to fridge the day prior, and then bake it per instructions (I don't bake it when I make it originally).
