Second childhood.

Okay... There's a reason... no doubt many reasons why people refer to getting old to that of being in a second childhood.
Short attention span.
I want candy!
I don't like broccoli (and never will)
Carefree day to day life.
Have trouble putting on socks and pants.
Don't care what day or time it is.
Back indoors by dark.
Do stupid stuff...repeatedly.
Always getting a boo-boo.
Bandaids always keep falling off.
Remember things only important to you, like play, not work.
Reminded to go to bathroom before we leave.
Come up with dumb excuses (wait...That may just be a man thing)
Say the word "poop" again. (could be a grandparent thing)
Don't care what anyone else thinks about the way I look.
Remembering all the things you did as a kid. (and try doing them again)
Think you can do it, when you can't.
Forget and leave the toilet seat up.
Why is my underwear inside out?
Can I go out and play?
Why do I have to tie me shoes?
I want candy! (I told you, short attention span).
Can't sit still. (must be doing something, preferably something that makes noise)
Constantly do little things that annoy people (was your mom, now it's your wife)
My clothes belong on the floor... Don't they (I'm gonna wear then in the morning)
Water on the counter/floor (its gonna dry up all by itself, right?)
I can't think of 5 good reasons why I shouldn't do that right now
Watching too much TV (need to get out and play)
Food stains on shirt is a badge of honor.
Licking food off fingers is now acceptable.
Giving up the fork in favor of the spoon.
It okay to drink soup from the bowl... right?
I'm awake... why isn't everyone else?
This shirt is still clean, I've only wore it twice.
Wipe my shoes...why?
Are we there yet?
I still don't like broccoli !!! Or anything else that's good for me!
Oh look... It's nap time again!
Reminded not to put things in your ear.
Again...why do I have to do that? ... now?
I want candy (see what I mean)
One track mind... easily derailed.
Can not do more than one thing at a time (even if one is just listening)
Why do I have to brush for two long minutes?
Over 60... I can definitely say the word poop! (just can't always do it when I want to)
I can use made up words again. Fitznick!
