Reliving Part of My Childhood

I know that I'm only sixteen, that I should still be having fun, and hanging out with my friends. Yet even at this point in my life I realize that we lose so much of our childhood. When my friands and I get together we are normally watch a movie, shop, go bowling, play GH3 or talk. I can still remember when my friends and I would get together and out would come the barbies and dolls. Forming families with a large group of kids,Having a game that would use imagination, never worrying about what others think.

Yesterday I was at a neighbours house. There was a group of girls there running around and laughing for no reason. I was still talking with the adults, and my sister. Then my sister keft to move some stuff, and the adults had migrated to sitting outside. I went upstairs to help the two younger ones get their balloon back from the ceiling. After tying the balloon back to a piece of ribbon I went to find the group of girls from before.

I found them inside one of the bedrooms, tying scarfs, forming a tribe of their own. I decided to join them, since I had nothing better to do. They each had their own weapon with random powers. One of the girls would draw moustaches tht would make you run away with embrassment. The leader of the tribe dubbed it the punishment for the unwilling with in tribe members. Rather then using a marker as they originally planned I ran home to grab my face paints. Everyone in the group used them for 'warrior paints'. I didn't. When three of the girls had to go for a few minutes, I sat outside with the two youngest ones of the group. The one girl managed to get some face paint on me, but with the use of my cell phone camera, I managed to remove it in about twenty seconds.

Both girls looked down, so I figures out how to where my face paints. Under each eye I placed black. According to the girls, it looked quite freaky. So I ended up running around with face paints on, using the old Indian call from my childhood, with a group of girls doing the same thing. It was fun, and I it made me realize that even when we are grown up we still need to do stuff like this so that we can remember how to loosen up and have fun again.
