What does it mean to be a kid at heart?

Being a young at heart is something I’m guilty of a lot.

But for the sake of example tonight, I’ll share one funny little story.

I was about 19 years old, went out to dinner with my family, a brief storm came through and created some puddles in the parking lot.

As we were making our way to the parking lot outside the restaurant, I saw a very welcoming puddle and proceeded to jump into it as hard as I could. Little bit, I know that my mother was standing right behind me, and got drenched. She then proceeded to chase me all over the parking lot till we all finally got caught up and got back in the car and went home.

She may have had a few choice words for me and I may have deserved them, but I was a seven-year-old kid there for a few seconds when I was 19.

Who am I kidding? I’d jump in a puddle right now if I had a chance. But I live in Southern California, where it doesn’t rain a whole lot.

As always, thank you for reading…
