The little kid NEVER really had a chance to be one. So now I try to make up for those lost years. Things aren't always perfect, but I try not to let them "in."

But I didn't go to formal school until I was 12, we had a governess, and the last year of my education was spent in Switzerland before going on to University. Strange how people change and how people are brought up so differently.<br>But, when it come down to it, we are all the same no matter what sort of education we have. What worries me more is now that we are having second and third generations of utter yobs with no standards growing up. It makes you wonder just what sort of lives that they are going to lead, and what they will leave behind them.<br>Big hugs to you both!Alice in Wonderlandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15068858292644394838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-36871113304191460842010-10-02T12:45:49.217-07:002010-10-02T12:45:49.217-07:00Yes sir Jimmy, the older I get, the more I realize...Yes sir Jimmy, the older I get, the more I realize this.

We often seem to lose touch with that "little kid" inside us, as we get older. I think life has a way of making us too serious at times. But it's as you shared so perfectly....<br><br>"you will feel a whole lot better if you do, try to find that little kid because as they say “Growing Old Is Mandatory, Growing Up Is Optional” it’s time to get serious and be a little bit less serious at times."<br><br>Thanks for sharing, my friend! Enjoyed!<br><br>Wishing you a "child-like" weekend!Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.com
