Play time is important. Go and get dirty outside. Interact with objects, nature and people. Create worlds in your head or in the sandbox. Go draw stuff on loose leaf paper with the lines. Read books on lizards and bugs. Ride your dirt bike off jumps. Go get a bag of candy at the drug store and eat it all. Eat some Big League Chew. Have sleepovers and rent horror films. Look at cute girls in your yearbook. Play and play and play until your mom's calling you home.
