Childs Vision

See the world from a child’s perspective. As you play with dolls and dream of the perfect family. Watch your parents lead the way, hopefully you’ll be like them someday. Drive hot wheels from room to room just knowing you’d drive one too. With a family and kids who don’t listen this is not what you expected. The clunker you drive to a dead end job. Was never in your plan you once dreamed of. Wondering what happened to that perfect vision you had as a kid? When did you grow up and realize life isn’t as perfect as you’d thought it would be?
