Every Thursday, we pick out one of the cool things from the Kim & Jason Lemonade Stand and give it away. Yep, for free.

This week’s prize is a Childhood (Take Two) Mug. Who says you can’t have a second childhood? Not us! In fact, we believe that you can have one that’s even better than the first! This mug expresses that sentiment, and it’s the perfect size for your favorite morning beverage or late night brew. Large, easy-grip handle. 11 ounce, dishwasher and microwave safe ceramic coffee mug.

Here’s how to enter:

Just leave a comment on this post, answering this week’s question: “What’s one thing you wish would have carried over from childhood to adulthood?”
Deadline for entries is 11:59 pm CST on the day of the post. We’ll pick a winner from the list of comments on the following Friday.
We’ll contact the winner by e-mail to find out where to send the prize.

Good luck! And don’t miss any of the other cool stuff for the young at heart at The Kim & Jason Lemonade Stand!

**UPDATE: This week’s winner was John:

I wish I could have carried over the (nearly) total lack of responsibility that there is in childhood. No mortgage, job, taxes, even feeding the dog could be pushed off on someone else most of the time. No responsibilities meant that I could focus on the important stuff: having fun!

Even though this week’s contest is over, you can still buy your very own Childhood (Take Two) Mug at the Kim & Jason Lemonade Stand. And stay tuned next week for the next chance to win!

My imagination! I used to be able to make my Lego table come alive. I sat down with them the other day, but it wasn’t the same. It was as if they didn’t know me anymore! I wish I could have played like that forever…

I wish I could have carried over all those lazy summer days I had as a child. I spent my time reading, dreaming, socializing, playing jacks, and just getting completely refreshed before starting a new school year. My current summer looks nothing like that, but I long for one that does!

Well, that’s easy! RECESS (and summer and Christmas vacations!) I still do Christmas vacation, it’s called vacation time from work, but those 3 months off in summer sure would be nice sometimes!

I miss my barbies and being able to make believe with them. Make believe is so much nicer then real life.
Thanks

My sense of adventure was wonderful! I had the fortitude of someone three times my age. I wasn’t afraid of heights, of digging to China or what people thought of me! Holding back on life wasn’t something I even considered. Of course, we big people should be constrained and dignified. Most of the time, I care about what others will thing of me. Darn, it would be great to be 10 years old again. The tea parties in my parents’ Canna flower beds were fabulous. Love your mug! Thanks, Cindi

I wish I still had my energy level. I could run, jump, hop and play all day.

thumb sucking—because then I wouldn’t look so ridiculous biting my nails and having my fingers in my mouth as an adult!

I miss the holiday celebrations that happened in grade school. I remember how much fun the Halloween costume parades were. Who could forget the Valentine’s day card hand out where everyone had a paper heart envelope on their desk. I loved sharing stories of Christmas and seeing everyones new clothes. Of course we all made special Mothers day cards out of construction paper and don’t forget the “hand” turkeys. Such fond memories.
