Define Fun, then Work.

When I was a younger, everything I wanted to do, I wanted it to be fun.  I didn’t want to work.  Skating rather than studying, drawing rather than reading, or swimming rather than running, were just a few examples.  The activities that I saw were “fun” began to turn into “work” when I got older.  I started realizing that having “fun” began to be “work.”  When I became a bit older, my sister was still in the “fun” stage.  She would ask to go skating, I would cringe at the thought of the hot sun, or the tight skates, or even taking the skates of after.  She would ask take a cool swim on a hot day, I would think about the cold water, the freezing sprint into the house to grab towels, or even the tired feeling after and refuse.  It saddened me at first.  I was becoming older, lazier, and not “fun.”  Fun turned into work and as soon as I realized my “unfun” ways, I began to have fun.  I would swim with my sister; I would skate with her and her friends.  I would put down the videogames and the cell phone.  The two things that became my source of fun.  I wanted to be “fun.”

I now understand why kids resent authority, adults, and “work.”  Fun evolves when you become older.  It becomes skating and drawing, to smoking and drinking in a blink of an eye.  Would must all stay young when it comes to having “fun.”  It is a universal term that kids, teens, and adults all should relate too.
