Childhood


Childhood is making messes with markers and glue. Childhood is playing in the sand box with your best friend. Childhood is changing the channels when your siblings are watching TV. just to tease them. Childhood is watching a lava lamp for long periods of time because it looked cool. Childhood is staying inside covering your ears on the 4th of July because your afraid of the fire works. Childhood is draing on your doodle bear over and over because you love washing him off. Childhood is getting lost in the mall and having security take you back to your mom Childhood is believing scary stories your older sister tells you Childhood is playing house and always wanting to be the mom Childhood is locking the closet door every night afraid something might come out. Childhood is innocence and full of life not worried about anything but cartoons on television
