I don't miss much about being a kid because, even at fifty, I am still pretty much a kid. Having two children allowed me to stay young. Most people who meet me think that I am in my thirties because I am full of energy, obnoxious and almost always playing pranks. I guess, if there were anything that I missed about being a kid, it would have to be the somewhat large amount of lack of responsibility. Going to work at two jobs everyday is less than fun but I know that my family counts on me. This isn't to discount the life that kids have to live...forced school and homework as well as chores...it pretty much evens out.
