Childish?

You would be surprised how you acted childish at times. It's really an act of simplicity and innocence, to a certain extent. While I was playing with 5 year old Shirley (a little girl I met during my recent Taiwan trip), my friend pointed out how childish I was. LOL. I reckon you would need to think like a child to click with one, just to ensure the wavelength is of the same frequency.

Probably I was really bored while seated in the bus and I suppose you could imagine what a bored person can do. I realised how easy and simple a kid can be pleased. Perhaps not all kids demand the same level of fun and complexity but Shirley can be warmed up pretty easily. A few simple tricks (and repeating ones) were enough to tickle her laughing buds. It took me by surprise how much I missed the gleeful laughter of a child.

Looking at Shirley reminded me the life of a child. It's usually care-free, innocent, simple and fun. Perhaps becoming childish once in a blue moon would free up one's mind for a while. At least, we remember to breathe and laugh =D
