Appeasing That Inner Child

Fewer quotes have ever better summed me up:

"I am often accused of being childish. I prefer to interpret that as child-like. I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things. I tend to exaggerate and fantasize and embellish. I still listen to instinctual urges. I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind. I never water my garden without soaking myself. It has been after such times of joy that I have achieved my greatest creativity and produced my best work." [-Leo F. Buscaglia]

Inner child struck again yesterday.

Yes, those are kids' toothbrushes.

With squiggly handles.

And polka dots.

[Oh, how I love polka dots...]

And the suction cup base totally worked.

My mom said that my nephew could use the second one...which made me feel two ways: 1) completely ridiculous because I'm using the same toothbrush as a 2 yr old and 2) like a cool aunt for having matching toothbrushes with my nephew at my mom's house.

For the record, don't let the polka dots fool you. As awesome as it looks, it's a tiny toothbrush. I know -- I should have seen that coming. I severely underestimated. Oops.

And some bonus quotes I just couldn't pass up:

"My childhood may be over, but that doesn't mean playtime is." [-Roy Olson]

"A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood." [-Rachel Carson]
