"All children, except one, grow up."

That's right, folks. Don't think otherwise...it happens to us all (well, except for the one, and here's a hint in case you don't remember: oh Peter! Peter!). So yes, aging is inevitable. Oh, and by the way, it sucks!


And for some reason we're always trying to grow up before our time...


I was at the gym this morning, running on the gerbal machine (in other words, treadmill) watching the morning news on one of the tv's that hang from the ceiling so conveniently right in front of me. The segment was called "Kids and Politics." It featured about six little kids, probably around the ages of nine or ten years old, answering questions and voicing their opinions on current issues. Of course there's nothing wrong with free speech, I practice it frequently myself (hey, look! I'm doing it right now!). Anyway, they were little kids! They should be outside running around chasing each other, playing tag, and scrapping their knees on the ground, not answering questions about the current political state of America. Ugh!

J.M. Barrie would be very, very disappointed.
