Do you remember

Remember when you took a lunch box to school?
Or do you remember getting wood chips in your hair?
Do you remember sitting in a booster chair?
What about when you used to ride in the grocery cart?
And the time when you were hoisted onto someone’s shoulders and the sky didn't seem so far away.
You can’t forget those bedtime stories either right?
Remember when we were so innocent?
Remember when things were so simple?
What happened?
How did we grow up so fast?
I don’t remember.

I love how this captures the innocence lost as we all grow older and are exposed to ugly adult reality.
