Adults can all agree that life as a kid was simpler as one didn’t really have much to worry about. We had no bills, no responsibilities, and playing with our friends, eating, sleeping, along with homework were all we seemed to do or think of. However, we did a lot more in our leisure time than just that; we might have loved to paint, draw, or watch cartoons. Adults and children alike can agree that these 5 cartoons are all-time favorites:
