As I have often said: all adults still feel like kids and they are doing their best to try to copy and act like the adults they remember from when they were kids. And.. it's been the same all the way back.
When we are young we think of adults as old and wise and so on. But those adults felt exactly the same as we do now, like kids trapped in an aging body, not really understanding how it happened. We'll reach 99 (one hopes) and still feel the same way, like our 14 year old selves when we close our eyes.
and I suppose there really isn't anything at all wrong with that. If i had kids I might behave more like an adult but I don't, so I will just continue to behave like a kid until the end of my days.
