Close your eyes and imagine yourself as a little kid. No matter how long ago it may have been, you can never truly forget the experience. What sort of things did you like to do? Perhaps riding a bike or playing baseball in the street tickled your fancy. Maybe reading a book under your bed sheets at midnight, when you were supposed to be asleep, filled you with glee. Every little thing seemed magical, and every adventure was a significant one, even if it entailed simply walking across the street. There was so much to learn, so much to experience and feel. And what about the foods you liked to eat? Of course, vegetables can be crossed off that list. What about cookies or hot dogs, even macaroni and cheese? And then there’s something that most little kids would love to have in their tummy: Candies. Those sweet treats that let your mouth have a party and helped you forget your troubles for a little while. They could be kept in your pocket and saved for chosen occasions, shared between friends or used as something to hold when times felt bad. You could walk into a candy store and spot a Jelly Belly or bubblegum machine, and suddenly the day would be a little brighter. Well, unless somebody invents some kind of time machine, nobody will ever be able to return to childhood once it’s finally over. That does not mean that one can’t watch a TV show or hold a toy from days passed by. It does not mean that you can’t enjoy things that a child would, such as going to an amusement park or digging into an ice cream sundae. And that certainly doesn’t imply that you can’t eat your favorite candies from your childhood. That would likely be the hardest of all to give up. So, go ahead and grab a handful: you deserve it.
