I was scanning the shelves of the nearby grocery store for something to munch on. I was weaving through the aisles when in the biscuits section I found a bag of Knick Knacks. I remember then when I was a kid. The biscuits were shaped like little fish and coated with chocolate.

I brought home a few and back in my room I ripped one open. Same old fishies, same very sweet chocolate. I sat down to study and although trying to pound my brain with the definitions of negotiable instruments, I found myself talking to the fish I was eating.

I laughed at myself. I was actually doing little swimming motions with the fish-shaped biscuits and guiding them to my mouth. Then I made this loud "armph" sound like I was the whale who gobbled up them up. I even pitied one that got it's tail broken off.

My conscious mind was on my studies but apparently mys subconscious found that part of me that wanted to play with my food. (Or maybe I was studying too hard and the stress finally got to me.)

Either way I was laughing, until I finally had only two left, I ate them at the same time thinking that the other would be lonely without its friends. I had fun. I was smiling widely.

I'm almost 20 and my sisters keep telling me to grow up. I try to but sometimes it's more fun to be childish. Especially when everything you see around you is this web of problems and deadlines. I little giggle now and then can't be bad, right?
