I have a young child and sometimes I like to ask myself whether I'm the kind of adult my own inner child wants to be. If the answer is "no", chances are I'm not getting enough play time. Whether its browsing through a bookstore, singing at the top of your lungs, or building a fort our of pillows with your child, we all need to make time for fun.
Also, play doesn't always require as much time as you may think. Sure, you may not be able to cook a 4 course meal (if that's your idea of a good time) but you sure can sing opera at the top of your lungs or rap while making your mac 'n cheese!
You might look and feel crazy but George Bernard Shaw said "We want a few mad people now. See where the sane ones have landed us!"
