As an adult I have made enemies of things that were my friends <br />For instance there was a time when I loved to jump on beds <br />In school at lunch I could fit my whole lunch in my milk straw <br />I used to never flinch away from eating cookies raw <br />When life got hard I would climb in a cupboard and pretend to be a bear <br />For excitement I would slide in hamper down the stairs <br />But now I’m grown and when my kids do the same things I ruin all their fun <br />I worry about them cracking their heads so I tell them when they’re done <br />Replacing stained clothes is expensive and spoiled dinners are a pain <br />So I’ve turned in my childhood and flushed it down the drain<br /><br />Asper Reynolds<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/being-an-adult/
