WIBCI Post #88

WIBCI we has less adult anxieties?

Remember when you were a kid and you worried basically about nothing?!

When I was a kid if I lost something (which was not rare) and actually realized it whilst still out and about (which was rare), I may have experienced a momentary feeling of loss and/or feigned a glance or two about my immediate location, but I would quickly move on and play in a puddle.

Remember how mittens were connected by a string that would go inside your snowsuit sleeve, across your back and out the other sleeve? This allowed you to throw off mittens with abandon when  barehands were needed, like for making really good snowballs, itching, picking, pinching, or flicking.

I wish we had these mitten-connectors for adults. I would like to shake off my gloves on impulse without having to shove them somewhere or inevitably drop one, never to be seen again. I don’t need the anxiety or the puffy pockets.

Coolest thing for me about being a kid was being a kid. I think we need more things that we know are going to be there so we can get back to being.
