Why do people always want us to grow up?

There's definitely a time and a place to be an "adult" but the one thing that keeps me young at heart is not taking life so seriously. I recently had an old acquaintance ask, "Will you ever grow up?" to which I responded, "Why?" Seriously. I work in an industry that aims to entertain kids - how best to accomplish that than channel my inner child. Now mind you, this is a person whom I haven't really had any contact in almost 20 years, so maybe she wasn't used to the fact that that's always how I am, but nonetheless...

If I've learned anything in life, it is this... a child's perspective is at the same time the purest and most brutally honest as you'll ever find. Just ask a preschooler to critique your drawing any day and you'll see what I mean.
