Being an adult, you look worriedly at this and carefully avoid every little splosh so that your white sneakers don't get dirty, or even your boots. This way we add another worry to all the other worries we carry, even if temporary.

I miss being a kid.

I avoid puddles if I'm in shoes that will allow water onto my socks because having to wear wet socks is the most miserable feeling. If my socks (and pants) aren't getting wet, I don't bother to avoid anything. You don't have to be a kid to not tie yourself up in knots about keeping all of your physical possessions in the best of shape while deprioritizing your own feelings.
