It may seem a bit late, but in celebration of Easter, I’d like to help you remember how to be a kid. Read on, because this is valuable stuff… all the time.
One of my mantras in life is
I MUST REMEMBER HOW TO BE A KID – EVERYDAY
…let alone the holidays…
My kids are grown up now. The youngest is almost 18, which means he doesn’t “do” the Easter Basket thing. Any celebration of Easter in his world (at least in the child-like, Easter Bunny kinda way) comes from me, from a distance (he lives with his dad out of state).
Damn straight, I send him goodies for Easter. I give goodies to all my loves… my youngest son, my oldest son, and my man, M.C.
Poor M.C.
As sweet as it may sound to “bless” all my loves with goodies on the holidays, my gifts come at a price. Anyone close enough to me to receive something must be able to relive their childhood (over and over) and participate in every kind of childish game I happen to think of and spring on them.
Which leads me to the moral of the story:
Life is too short to take everything seriously. It’s spring…the season of renewal, forgiveness, redemption and joy. Enjoy life. Meditate, read, sing, speak, dance, eat…but ENJOY your life. Do what makes you happy.
Try to remember the joy and sheer delight you experienced as a child when gifts awaited you, or you were surprised by fabulous treats. Be that. Be surprised and joyful about life. Look for the moments and seize them. Who cares what people think? Right?
So, this morning, I laid out a trail of chocolate for M.C. Nugget. Before he could have his first cup of coffee, he was required to find all of the treats. The chocolates from the bedroom door to his desk led to his first card and a chocolate Easter Bunny. Next on the trail, Easter egg Jordan Almonds… and then to the Piece de Resistance, the final card along with his protégé, Ernie Hamster (we’re working on a suitable rap handle), who was ready to perform his new single “Here a Chick There a Chick”
It may prove impossible for you to decipher his earth-shattering lyrics in the video below, so I’ve provided them here:
Here a chick here… Imma Imma a chick there…
Here a chick, there a chick, everywhere a chick chick.
If you’re talkin’ bout chicks yo, I GOT GAME!
Hidden my eggs, yo I find MANY!
Find my Easter basket, walk out the DOOR
Chillin’s all around me now, that’s for SHOR!
Easter Bunny, yeah HE GOT GAME
But I’m an Easter Chick… Headin’ for FAME!
Imma chick here… Imma Imma chick there…
Here a chick there a chick, everywhere a chick CHICK.

Ms. Cheevious is the alter-ego of Lisa Jey Davis (former publicist, and television talent manager, current award-winning writer & author, & health and fitness pro). Though Ms. Cheevious has become known for humor via the blog and social media, offering a lighter and brighter look at life… the blog was originally a precursor to Lisa Jey's long overdue book "Ms. Cheevious in Hollywood" which offers a fabulous, funny peek into what really goes on behind the scenes in Hollywood… a Hollywood with Lisa Jey and her funny “serendipities” in it. Think Lucille Ball meets Chelsea Handler meets the girl next door (with a little chocolate and vodka). It depicts with hilarity the innocent mistakes Lisa Jey made when launched back into the big, bad single jungle, as an unassuming single-mother in the City of Angels. It’s also about the beautiful, interesting life she led while her loving, incredible sons kept her grounded and sane amid fantastic events, new friends, parties and field trips. It also shows the turmoil and heartbreak that comes with dating and single mom life. All blog content © 2015 Ms. Cheevious aka Lisa Jey Davis
Yup…. it was great! I love this woman!!! 🙂
awww thanks Nuggie! Enjoying your Easter Chocolates are ya? LOL!! I love you too! XOXO
That is the way to be, F– this acting your age. I’d rather be dead, and I’ll probably die for not trying. I think you know.
This last week I went to this most wonderful grave side memorial/burial that, as I think of it, gave me a childish realization and delight. There was nothing holy, nothing about joining the predeceased in heaven, nothing maudlin, no clergy, but most beautiful heartfelt remarks by her son and granddaughter and a few appreciative comments by others. Recently I came across the idea that we die twice: 1- when we die, and, 2- the last time our name is spoken. The message seriously presented by this wonderful woman’s granddaughter’s husband was that her legacy of genuine love has been absorbed by all who knew her and has wrought inspiration in all her family to emulate that life of love. Having known the woman I believe it. So we get a third life’s extension: 3- until that time our influence no longer survives in anyone’s subconscious. Doesn’t take much to make me happy.
Eaeme
Hey Eaeme! thanks for stopping by! How are you? Great example – love it… and that 3 x dying thing.. well, you will never die, until this entire world goes bye bye… your essence will always be felt… it’s impression forever imparted to those around the people who knew and loved you, and passed down to others they know and love… I saw and edited your comment about Mammoth – I have the info in case I go for another Mammoth Mountain Moment, but didn’t want the entire internet to have it. HAHA!
Between your reminder, and the puppy at home, I have no choice but to act like a kid! Paintball, anyone? 🙂
I’m in – call me up! ROFL
so much fun! i love acting like a kid! you are so cute! 🙂
Thanks Luann! Me too! Kids are the BOMB!
no one has to tell me twice to be a kid!
Well good! Don’t make me come over there!
Couldn’t agree more! I work with and write for kids to keep myself young 🙂
You’re the BOMB Alan! Thanks!
How fun! I am all about letting my inner child out to play whenever possible.
Yes! In my case, it’s my outer child that generally needs to be controlled… but I simply won’t let anyone control her! LOL
I don’t wanna grow up, I’m a Toys R Us kid….lalalalalala
Well put Ms. Cheevious! Too much fun being young. I LOVE when my kids say, “Mom, you’re such a dork!” My response to them? “And a good one too!”
YEAH! you ARE!
Easter chick is an ornament on the tree of life. Will become self explanatory. Couldn’t resist.
The
only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do
nothing.

You are so right Deb! Exactly!
