A time when you longed to be an adult
 
 

Longing to be an adult but still in elementary school. My best friend and I wanted to be grown up, so we could hang out with her older brothers and friends, rather than getting picked on and treated like kids. We hated them, and acted much older than they did. It wasn't much fun going to Great America either because we weren't old enough and too short to ride on the big rides. So we had to stay in the kiddie section, which was okay for a bit, but got boring after you went on everything a million times. We also always dreamed of driving a car when we played our child games. We could pretend to drive anywhere we wanted to and do anything we wanted to but we were always back in time for the sun to go down and our moms to yell "get your butt inside."
