Why run naked through sprinklers?

Have you ever known a toddler who comes in the house, takes everything off, and you look up and realize that there's a trail of clothes leading to a naked child running happily through the hallway? Most children, I have noticed, are comfortable in their own skins and delight in the simple pleasures that life has to offer. Then the world intrudes and children learn to be uncomfortable with aspects of themselves and crave materialistic things.  Running Butt Naked Through the Sprinklers is about the struggle of two worlds. How do we stay comfortable in our own skins and continue to take pleasure in the simple things in life while learning life lessons along the way? That's one lesson that I'm still learning and look forward to sharing with you.
