Quote From Peter Pan About Growing Up Novels & Stories

Thomas laughed heartily. "Great-grandpa is already so old. How can I still grow taller? If I did grow any more, I'd turn into a monster." Lucas sat on Thomas' lap and touched his arm. "Great-grandpa, you're too thin. You need to eat more." Thomas, after hearing what Lucas said, smiled even more happily and hugged the children tightly with both hands. "Oh dear, you two little ones are so smart. You know that eating well helps you grow taller and stronger. Great-grandpa doesn't want to turn into a monster, but I'm already too old to grow taller. I'll just have to wait for you two to grow up."

“Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.” — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince. LILAH Everything had changed. And not the good kind of change, like when Cammy let me wear her sparkly headband to school, even though it made my hair stick up funny. Not like when Bill built us a blanket fort and said it was our “castle,” and I got to be queen for the whole afternoon.
