Gotta love 8 and 9 year olds and their thought processes. Austin had a friend over for the day and evening Friday. We were heading to soccer and the park when I couldn't resist listening in to Austin and Josh's conversation. They were actually sad for themselves being at the "old age" that they are. The reason they were sad: They couldn't fit into those cool "car carts" at Target. It was just too cute to listen to this sweet conversation. I always thought kids couldn't wait to be older. Well.....I guess those awesome carts have kind of spoiled "growing older" for Austin and Josh.

I'm with you! I always wished to be older...as soon as Cailey has a birthday she says, "I'm almost 6 now" (Right after she turned 5).
Kids are so cute!
it's such a dilemma for kids. sometimes being older works for them and sometimes they'd rather be "little" again. i remember feeling both things and it usually was when the opposite would've been more fun for me at the time! :)
How funny! I love listening to kid conversations when they think there are no grown ups around. It gives such insight into how their little growing up minds think!!
Kinda weird, but I rarely wanted to get older as a kid. Sure, I wanted to be old enough to do X or tall enough to ride the roller coaster, but I always mourned being too old to order from the kids' menu or too big to ride the kids' roller coaster. Guess I'm more like Austin. Was Brian that way?
BTW – Austin really is looking grown-up!
You and Austin probably have it right on, Emily. We are usually all in such a hurry to grow up that we miss how wonderful it is to just be a kid and enjoy the great things about NOT having adult responsibilities yet. Also the good deals on a kid's menu. :)
I sure wish I could fit into a kid cart! Oh to be young and healthy and beautiful again...Austin is wise - hold onto youth big guy.
Sherri, you probably could fit into a kid cart! :)
