Lucky Babies

Why do I love kids? Why do I even envy kids sometimes? Its because kids have the biggest advantage in the world which is that they are easily amazed and wowed by the really small things in life. Kids get all excited when they see splashes because you threw something in water...its like the biggest wonder in the world these little splashes while for us grown ups these splashes are just expected, nothing to be excited about that's for sure. Kids find it amazing when you hide your face behind your hands then suddenly show them your face again...its like wow how did the face dissappear then appear again out of the blue! They dont get the logical explanation which is that the face never really left, you just cant see the face from the hands. Everything in life has a logical explanation which we learn as we grow up so the older we get the less amazed we are. It takes ALOT to amaze us now, while for kids the tiniest and most trivial things make them smile and jump up in excitement. That's what I love about kids, that curiosity that they have, while what I envy is how easy it is to keep them happy. I guess that's where my nick name on msn comes from...Amaze Me...I miss that feeling of being amazed very easily! And I find myself actively looking for things to make that feeling come back whether its insisting on going to a country I've never been to before, or insisting on siteseeing while I'm travelling, or having really intense discussions so I'm amazed by other people's opinion, etc. It's all just to get that feeling back which we all seem to lose more and more as we grow up. For babies, life is just so exciting all the time! Ignorance for them really is bliss!
