Back when we were kids

So i'm starting out with our childhood(mikey) because your probably the first one to be reading this...
So back when we were kids why was it so much more fun to go to the villa del prado park and catch lizards on the rocks cemented together? Why was it so much more fun to bug you for hot fries and cocoa from your parents store? Why was it so much more fun to sit on a thin handlebar and let you double me home when you know that bar hurts like a mother@#$^#%? Why was it so much more fun to sit up all hours of the night and play video games like doom and kid icarus and tetris....? Oh wait i still do that with my xbox hehehehehe!!!! I guess i'm just trying to see why we lose our innocence so quickly i mean just because we mature doesn't mean we need to lose what we always loved and that's just life!!!
