Being a Big Person

A little snippet from Ty Dutcher. It will make you chuckle and bring out the child in you. Enjoy!

I love being a big person.

Some would call it being an adult, but I like “Being a Big Person.”  To me, ‘being a big person’ means:  I don’t have to share, if I don’t want to. I don’t have to get out of bed because it’s a nice day outside. I don’t have to eat all of my broccoli, if I don’t want to (but I do like it now that I’m bigger).

If I want to leave the door open and heat the outside, I can do that if I feel like it! If I want to eat right before I go into the pool, yup, I’m a going do that too. The dishes in the sink can wait till the morning and the dog poop in the yard can last one more day without growing and consuming the dog.

I can take real long showers and don’t have to wash behind my ears or the bottoms of my feet.  The trash can wait to be taken out till I’m ready. My bed won’t catch fire if I don’t make it every morning. And I don’t have to be nice to my next-door neighbor even though he’s mean to me.

I love being a big person and will take advantage of it every time I can… so long as my wife lets me.
