Adult Visions
As a kid, you must have imagined what it was like to be an adult. Now that you’re a grownup (or becoming one), how far off was your idea of adult life?
Adulthood, in my shining childhood vision, was a time when I could eat as many chocolate éclairs as I liked – and you’ve got to admit, ambitions don’t come much nobler than that.
What’s more, life would have been much simpler if I’d stuck to it.

What about hot fudge sundaes? I remember those.
No, they never appealed as much
Hmmmm, Helen, I’ll have to sleep on this one!
🙂
My mother made the best chocolate eclairs, delicious memories. Thanks Helen!
Not something I’ve ever made, but i certainly remember them with fondness
I think you have certainly figured this out — and I agree, if we had stuck to our childhood visions, we’d all most likely be a lot happier —- perhaps overweight, but much more content. 🙂
I was an overweight child, so I wouldn’t have noticed the difference!
I like that dream. I think my similar dream was Napoleons. On Tahiti. Or Fiji we can finally grow up. 🙂
Do we have to? I rather fancy regressing to rip-roaring irresponsibility.
I was thinking the same. 🙂 Today I’m wearing my Darwin shirt. I wore it to the store in the local town once and a little boy (little kids think I’m awesome) was jabbering baby talk at me happily and I was answering. His mother — a fundamentalist Christian — slapped his hand and said, “Don’t talk to her, she’s a bad person.” On Fiji I’m wearing my Darwin shirt.
We could also snigger at narrow-minded bigots. Now THAT would be fun!
