When I was little my grandfather used to read me a story each day. He wasn`t doing this because he had to, he did it because he felt so. I could tell this by the look on his face, he was happier. When he was opening those books I knew that he was changing into a little kid.
I felt very, very privileged because, for a little while, I was offering him the opportunity to enter into the world of fantasy, where everything seemed better. Of couse, he could have opened those books and could have read the stories by himself, but with me he wasn`t alone anymore. He was like a kid who found a friend to play with.
Adults showed me they knew everything and I had to learn from them. However, my grandfather proved me that an adult can be taught by a kid how to be little again.
Now, after almost 20 years I still feel like a kid. Everytime my niece and nephew come by I get the chance to act like a little girl, watch cartoons or children movies and play cards. To them, to me, and to all the kids in the world: happy children`s day!!!
Happy Children`s Day!
