Why did you grow up?

[tjwmason]

I'm a total Peter Pan - or at least Peter Pan plus alcohol - to my mind there's no reason to grow up.

1. I'll Never-Never grow up

[GOPisEvil]

2. My parents kept watering me and facing me toward the sun.

:shrug:

[Spinzonner]

4. Lucky you

my parents stuck me in a dank cellar with no light.

Things just mushroomed from there ...

[GOPisEvil]

5. Yeah, but you turned out to be a real fungi.

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. Because my daughter needed me to.

Because instead of seeing my future wash down the drain in her beautiful eyes...instead, I saw a happiness I could never have imagined. So, I grew up, right along side her. :hi:

[havocmom]

8. Somebody had to do it, and my parents weren't interested in the prospect.

I learned by NOT following

[Bzzzz]

9. Never have...never will...

nope...nope...

[kwassa]

10. Being grown up is more fun

[SOteric]

11. Because

I had a rare form of bone cancer as a teenager. I faced death, and I watched my parents and even my poopyheaded brothers sacrifice everything they had and beg to God for my life.

When you evaluate the sum of your existence and the value that those dearest to you put on it, it rather gives one the desire to have that existence mean something.

12. to me growing up means

losing your sense of wonder. i hope i never do

[Wapsie B]

15. I agree.

If you grow up you lose touch of that little kid inside you. That's what I'm trying to get back.

[Shell Beau]

13. I still watch Willy Wonka and get just as

excited about the candy paradise!

14. Beats the hell out of the alternative! n/t
