What does it mean to be a kid?

it means talking to yourself - with impunity. it means not just making a simple pass to your friend on the soccer field, but incorporating a crazy kungfu kick and hand motion all at the same time (hi-ya!). it means not needing a song (or a reason) to dance. it means making a random noise and then repeating it over and over again with infinite pleasure and self-satisfaction. it means having your bestest friend become your worstest enemy (and then bestest friend again) all in a matter of 30 seconds. it means being in awe over the commonest of things; like patterns on the floor made by light thrown through a window. it means continually discovering something, creating with next to nothing, and loving everything.
