No Kids Allowed

Description

Ever remember the days when you were a child, going to bed around 7 or 8 at night? While you were in bed and maybe unable to sleep, do you remember if your parents had a small get together with their friends, playing Trivial Pursuit, drinking wine and eating cheese and snacks? Or maybe playing card games, drinking and talking about their lives and gossip. The smell of beer or wine and maybe a bit of pot ran through your nose and while you are in your dark room or right outside the living room doors. All you can see is the floor reflecting the light where they partied and the echo of their voices - laughing, joking and talking about grownup stuff that you have yet to experience or never understood. You remember your parents telling you that you are too young to play their games or drink their wine or get involved in their talks. They tell you to go to bed and that its past your bed time. You just wish you can be a grown up so you can experience that with your friends.

I remember this from my childhood too, but I remember it fondly since a lot of the adults would usually bring their kids over too.  We had a hierarchy of our own, there were plenty of things to do for fun, and the bigger kids filled this "elder" role and would always have funny stories, jokes, and insight.
