When the universe was young and I wasn't there

Who wouldn't like a lego house? Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you like to live in a small wooden house in the park? Well, maybe right now, most people would say no, but a child would definetely say yes.
Such a beautiful atmosphere right now. They are running. Screaming. Playing. Crying. All at once. No one can do those things beside children.
"I want on that plane, mom! Please! I want up there!" he said enthusiastic. She didn't say no. She grabbed him and put him there. "This is so cool. I am a pilot."
"Of course you are." He didn't say thank you, but the happiness on his face was enough for her. Can you imagine being a mother until you actually become one? It is not so easy as you think. Not at all. It is the hardest thing and yet the most satisfing. But not all of us are meant to be parents, as others would say. No, it takes so many things to be one and as we know, we are not the same.

"Can I climb on that? Pleeease, please, please! You know I will be careful. Look, he is doing it and he is up there. Please!"
"Ok, let your bag here and be careful." The old man took his bag and sat on a bench watching him. He just finished his program in kindergarden and everyday, at that hour, they stayed for about half an hour in the park."
"Thank you, grandpa." The grandpa, after a while, started to enjoy his book. He knew that Denis was going to be ok. He looked, from time to time, at him. All he ever wanted was Denis to be happy. And for now, he was.

"Grandma, mom doesn't let me use the slide. Tell her that it is ok. I've done that before. Please!" Little Jenny knew how to manipulate people. She was so little, but she had an amazing ability. A great actress, you could say.
"C'mon dear. I let you do a lot of other worse things and I think you grew up pretty ok. A little bit nervous and uptight, God knows why. I wasn't like that, but still a nice person."
"Thank you, thank you for the encouragment now. This is great. Now she will want to climb a tree or who knows what?"
"Can I do that?"
"For God's sake, no Jenny! See?"
"Let the poor kid enjoy her childhood. It will pass so quickly. I know that is what happened with mine. Oh, how much I would like to be a kid again. Not to care about anything. To measure every day in laughter, in games or in the stars that you start counting at night. So simple. So beautiful."
The younger woman didn't say anything. Her mother was right. That was a time everybody wants back, but no one gets it. The obstacles of life. So many. So hard to understand.

I went a little bit further in that playground and I got close to a little wooden house where I heard noises. I got closer to see.
"And one day, I will grow up and I will take you and dad on a trip around the world. We will see everything. The pyramids, the mountains, the castles. Everything."
"You have big plans there."
"Of course, I do. If I don't make big plans, the little ones will take over and I don't want that. I want to be what I dream."
"We all want that, darling."
"Yeah, but I will do it."
So much enthusiasm. Such an attitude. And courage. It is so simple to be kid. To believe in everything. To think that all is possible.
This is such a young universe, too bad I am not like that anymore. Too bad right now I am just haunting those places, wishing for something long gone. Too bad I lost the child inside of me. DO NOT DARE TO DO THAT!
