I've been told a couple of times over the past few months to "grow up". Not in a malicious way--maybe in a bit more dismissive manner. But what do the "grown ups" know that I don't? Do they drop what they are doing to make time for life's little "puppet shows"? Have they kept their sense of wonder--and humor? Do they still dare to dream?
In my limited experience in life I've learned that there is a subtle difference between being a responsible adult, professional, citizen and being a "grown up". As children we aspired to be "grown ups"--we couldn't wait until the day it was our turn. Then one morning we woke up and wondered what the fuss was about. If you've lost your appreciation for a spontaineous puppet show, then chances are that you've probably "grown up". Is it everything that you thought it would be?
