Share a favorite 'improv epiphany'

It was Sunday afternoon in July, I was walking in a park and I saw a kid with a stick in his hand trying to get a balloon off a tall bush while the rest of his friends were anxiously waiting to see what happens next. He finally made the balloon fall off the bush. Everyone cheered! The kid with the stick was laughing with his whole being. He started chasing the rest of the kids who could grab the ball...he stopped for a second and all of sudden he made the stick an imaginary horse and started riding the horsy with funny jumping motions and started running after them again...I suddenly reconnected with my childhood and realized how creativity and imagination are effortless and how one's mood can affect one's behavior...he was all happy although he didn't have the ball in his possession....It is about playing!
