... the innocence of a child


I was walking past a school yard the other day, it was recess and the kids all played.

I was close enough to hear two of the dears, saying while playing

"I will if you do" and "I won't if you don't"

It made me wonder, is the significance the same as it was 45 years ago?  A game we all played, back then a deal was a deal. 

"You show me yours and I'll show you mine" 

This put a smile to my face and memories in place.

There is nothing as precious as the innocence of a child!

This is so true, and that is why I am not insulted when so many tell me that I never "grew up." Thank you for sharing these lovely sentiments and for awakening memories, Carin' Spirit. Love and best wishes,
