After this many years perhaps I should be feeling like an adult.

Today is my birthday...

There are many many ways that I am grown up. I'm registered to vote, I hold a driving license, had a passport and have travelled all over the world unsuppervised by real adults.

So why don't I feel like an adult at all? A quick google search suggests that it isn't unusual to feel immature for one's chronological age, but I seem to be regressing.


For me to be able to do my job well I need to be sensible, intelligent and reasoning. I just wish for once that someone would say..."You're a wizard, Harry." The concern I have is that this isn't just a sign that I know the requirements of my profession, but that I am actually damn good at what I do, and I take great pride in that. Sometimes I feel that I just get treated like a giant toddler. Daddy sometimes called me Baby Huey, remember that? Don't? that's why I am 100+ years old and you are not. So now that I have decided to reject adulthood. The world may need me to be an adult, but as long as I remember to watch the news now and then and don't forget to vote then surely I get to define the term 'adult'. I officially declare that adults are allowed to eat chocolate cereal for breakfast AND lunch, and will never say no to playing on a bouncy castle. It also means that I will forever be allowed to talk about dinosaurs and what it would be like to be chased by a T-Rex, play with Barbie's and color with crayons and paint.


FINALLY. thank you and a half for reminding me it's fun to be a giant child, that's REALLY what I'd rather be.
