This evening I visited one big playroom with my son. He likes playrooms very much and he always has a great time there, like any other child. But I was bored and tired, like any other parent and I just wanted to hear his voice telling me "mom let's go home". I was waiting for a long time to hear that words, but it didn't happen. I just wanted to be at home, to relax and drink some tea or hot chocolate and I started to imagine myself on my comfortable sofa, reading articles on read.cash and listening to music or watching TV...
Every parent should have some time for themselves at some part of the day. I like to have my time to relax in the evening, when my kids fall asleep. But this evening my son insisted on going to the playroom, so we changed our routine and came home later. My relaxing time is too short for relaxing, but I am inspired to write an article about this evening.
When I started to imagine my relaxing time at home, while we were in playroom, I almost didn't fall asleep. My son noticed that I was really bored and he told me that he has a great idea. He took my hand and told me to close my eyes. We were going somewhere and then he told me to open my eyes. When I opened my eyes I saw huge slide in front of me. I was never gone down a slide that is so big. If I had opportunity, when I was a child, to go down the slide like this, I would be the happiest child in the world. But it is never too late to make some dream come true, even if you are not child anymore.
My son insisted that I go down the slide with him. At first, I didn't want, but he convinced me. When I climbed up, I felt dizzy. It was really big slide. Here we are...
Then we started to go down the slide.. Once... Twice... Three times... Ten times... I stopped counting. I was flying. I felt great and crazy, like a child. I was really flying like never before. I am grateful to my son who showed me that not everything has to be routine. Sometimes it is not so bad to be child again. Actually, it is great to be a child. When you are a child, you are carefree and you just want the have a great time. Nothing else matters. And I really felt great on that slide. The smile on my face says more than words.
Thank you very much for reading. Have you ever tried to be a child again? If you have not tried, I recommend it to you. π

Well done your son, every so often it is great to act like a kid. Really we are still kids at heart, and I am glad you changed your routine and went and slid down that slide, again and again and again!
