Mix a little foolishness with your prudence: it’s good to be silly at the right moment.
—Horace, Roman poet
As long as I continue to hear ‘normal’ people telling me I am too childish, I know I’m doing just fine.

He never grew up; but he never stopped growing.

I’ve known a lot of people who equate silliness with stupidity. I disagree. What about you?

Humor, silliness, andlaughteris the best medicine.
Yes. 🙂
Oh no, silliness does not equal stupidity. Not at all. Silliness is the key to holding on to your inner child. Plus, like Anni said, laughter is the best medicine. I’ll post a picture of my recent silliness soon. I may look crazy but if I can make one person smile because of it then it’s all worth it.
I those posts of yours. 🙂
I know of several persons who’ve become rich by acting silly. Sure, there’s a time and a place for everything … but a lot of folks need to just lighten up.
It’s an important part of life.
Well dang! That’s why my name is what it is – not enough silliness in the world.
I love your name!
I love silly but then you already knew that!??
Yes. 🙂 Good for you!!

Thank you!
I am with you on this one.I think a certain amount of silliness is necessary for our mental health!
Amen to that!
Silly is critical to living a good life.
Yes! 🙂
Dogs can be so silly, just being their everyday selves.
I know. I try to get a doggie fix every day from the web.
escape adulting is just fine with me … including doing things that we are told are “kids” stuff, like one of the quotes above… I don’t seem to have done much of it lately!
Except I don’t believe it’s escaping. I think it’s like Julia Cameron’s artists’ dates. It stimulates creativity.
