Just a few days back, I was at the McD near my house. My sister decided to treat me since I've been cooped up in my cave long enough. I was of course, delighted! It's food we're talking about! I know, i know it's just McD. What's the big deal?
You see, back then when I was a kid, I was very much deprived of fast food and pretty much what every kid likes to munch on. Thanks to my dad who was and still is very health conscious.. Not that I'm blaming him for banning my childhood cravings. He did not banned me totally from fast food, of course, just not as frequent as most kids would have a meal there. So I would always savour the moment, savour the taste. But then again, I had baby fats, and I swear if you kicked me down a hill, I would roll down the hill like a ball. Only with hair..
It's just that every time I patronize a fast food outlet, I see cheerful kids munching on fries which makes me ponder about my childhood.
So, that day when I was at McD, I saw this kid with his mum entering. They looked a bit timid, I would say. Not very well to do I suppose.. They walked slowly to the counter, stared at the price of a McValue Meal, and then walked off without ordering anything. I saw how the kid stared longingly at it and he kinda reminded me of me.. Just that his mum must have felt the pain of not having the ability to buy him a McValue Meal. But then again, it's just my assumption. They then proceeded to the play area and the kid instantaneously brightened up. I guess that's part of being a kid. They find joy in the smallest things possible. We, on the other hand, find joy in very little things. Interesting huh how things work as we grow?
What's a piece of your childhood?

But as we grow older, we learn new things too aite ?
So I guess its balanced. lol
A part of us still contains what we had at our very prime; our imaginations ;)
To have an old imaginative mind is not imaginative at all.
