I turned sixteen about a month ago, so by my own standards, I'm now officially old. When I was turning ten I thought I would never make it to sixteen. I couldn't wait to be older and have more independence and get to do all kinds of fun things. But now that I am older, and I know what it's actually like, all I want is to be a toddler again.
So sometimes I like to channel my inner screaming spoiled brat.
My name is Meredith, and I am a sixteen-year-old toddler. These are my true confessions.
1. Sometimes I just sit on the couch crying over literary analyses and chemical equations that need to be balanced and life that needs to be figured out, and then I just holler across the house at the top of my lungs and demand leftover pizza and apple juice.
2. I sleep with a blankie, and have difficulty sleeping without my blankie.
Not to mention that I actually still have a blankie, not to mention that I still call it my blankie...
3. I am not above lying in the middle of the floor if I happen to be tired.
4. I'm scared of ordering for myself in restaurants, buying my own things in stores, and going in fitting rooms that have guards - I mean employees - outside.
5. I don't like brushing my hair.
6. I am a HUGE fan of Max and Ruby.
7. Goldfish crackers are my one weakness.
8. Dog = PUPPY!!!!!! Cat = KITTY!!!!!!
9. I really like crayons and markers.
10. I'm scared to cross the street by myself.
11. I still kind of get excited that I can use the big forks now.
And don't even get me started on the Toddlers and Tiaras girls. They are all my spirit animals.

I know you won't do this, but you could also do a parallel blog post about how you are gradually putting away most of your toddler behaviors and showing signs of the beautiful woman God is making you into. This was a fun post and made me laugh out loud; why do you keep doing that? :-)
