Do you ever wish you could still be a child?

I happened to me today. Whilst out walking we met a most peculiar man. He was tall and dark, wore a battered bowler hat, gabardine raincoat, thick working boots and had a piece of rope tied around his waist with a dog on a lead attached to it. We said, 'Hello', and a cheery word as we passed each other on different sides of the lane. The child in me was desperate to ask this mysterious stranger if he was the Crow Man but the adult in me wouldn't allow it in case it caused offence.

But that's how he looked.

I'm sure today I met the Crow Man.

We all still have some inner child surely? Spent a day last week happily lobbing water bombs at DH and the DGC, we all got soaking wet and laughed like mad.?

No. It wasn't a good time for me.

Not unless I could have all the life skills and wisdom I've got now as a child but then you wouldn't be a child so no, I don't wish I was a child again but happy to see the child in the Grandchildren .

No, definitely not. Today's children have got a very difficult life ahead of them due to global warming.

I'm glad I've only got 10/20 years left.
