Traveling today to a place of a kid's birthday party! A place that is decorated with streamers and Happy Birthday banners, balloons, confetti, you name it, everything that is festive is there!
To a table with a paper tablecloth that holds all the fun foods, ice cream with many toppings, chocolates, candies, bubble gum, gum drops, candy in wrappers, being thrown a piece of candy from across the room, to then reach out your hands and catch this candy before it drops on the floor. To have candy everywhere, colorful candies, candies of every color, sweetness to the lips and mouth, a kid's birthday party that is as sweet as a gum drop in a place called Candy Land.
All your friends at this kid's party, all in a seat at the table, all wearing party hats. Given party horns to blow, squeaking out sounds from this party horn, everyone blowing their horn in unison. Having your cousins at this party, no matter how distant they are, a party of family and friends.
Getting gifts, party games and stuffed animals, toys, a Slinky, a teddy bear, a life-size "Betty" doll. Given as a gift a Linus's blanket to softly cuddle to your face and carry around with you everywhere you go, a blanket that becomes your pal, like a doll that is your child, but while you are a child yourself.
A doll's house, a play kitchen, a stove to cook pretend foods, furniture for this doll's house that you can arrange and rearrange. Upholstered furniture in miniature. Having the pleasure of owning a house without the responsibility of paying a mortgage.
A kid's party, all over again, in your memory as an elderly person, to have the same fun again, to enjoy these moments and to celebrate the same as you did when you were a kid.
