Party time in Denver
Every summer I have the good fortune of being able to attend children’s birthday parties due to my work as a martial arts instructor. I enjoy being invited out to celebrate my student’s birthdays and for me, this also means free food! Have you ever noticed at children’s birthday parties that, for all the children there, the most important thing of the day is the child, the fact that the child’s birthday is today, and also that everyone should be playing during such a happy event?
And sure, we have all outgrown this stage and why not: there are responsibilities like work, bills, family, church, voting, etc. Someone has to pay for the party right? But when was the last time we allowed ourselves to be swept up in the simple importance of playing like these children do at birthday parties?!?
I’m reminded of a party I attended not too long ago. A good friend of mine, Chris, had provided Bouncy Houses and other bouncy things for the five year old crowd to enjoy, which the five year olds did particularly well. Many of the five year olds took to trying to convince me, in all my twenty years of glory, to jump in the Bouncy House with them. They simply could not understand why I, or the other adults, refused to partake in the inflatable fun. We just had too much other things on our mind, I suppose, like what will everyone else here think if I actually take off my shoes and take five minutes to have fun in a child’s plaything with my five year old friends? Long story short, I did eventually, and from combined efforts of the children, enter the bouncy house for approximately five minutes. But I’ll tell you, the experience of taking five minutes out of my practiced adult exterior to jump in the bouncy house as a function of my younger, childlike interior that we all have, is something that will last a life time. When was the last time we allowed ourselves to be swept up in the simple importance of playing like these children do at birthday parties?!? For me, it was the last birthday party I went to, and I plan to enter the next Bouncy House I find at the next birthday party as well. Hope you enjoyed this…
