The Grownup Novels & Stories

Grown-ups, full adults, once they make it back to mother planet, they regress back to baby ages, their body would shrink, they still might look like teenagers or pre-teen, but their mind would be same as a baby. Compared to our caregivers, we are the size of little toddlers, like it or not, you are treated like a baby literally, but only in short thirty years, you'd be an adult. Yes, humans would grow up, they'll be adults like the aliens we belong to now, we need care, love, discipline until we make it.

“My God, I don't think I've played that game since college, and frankly I'd like to keep it that way because some memories should remain buried.” “Perfect,” Maddie declared, pointing at him as though he'd accidentally strengthened her argument. “The greatest tragedy of adulthood is that everyone eventually convinces themselves they've become mature, emotionally evolved, and far too sophisticated for bad decisions, when in reality most people desperately need to do something stupid every once in a while for the sake of their mental health.”

"Jealous is only for grown-ups, so you don't need to understand it now. Please understand, darling." "Mommy, when will I grow up so I can know what jealous means?" "Nora has to eat a lot, exercise, study well, and be a good child. Then you'll grow up to be an adult who can face the world." Nora jumped off the sofa and exclaimed excitedly, "Yeay! I promise to eat a lot, exercise, study well, and be a good child! I want to grow up like Mommy and Daddy!" "Such a clever girl. You'll definitely become a cooler adult than Daddy! Don't rush, darling, because Daddy isn't ready to let you go out there. Take it slow, one step at a time."

And it was exactly just what I would always receive. “Vanessa” she called out my name and I rolled my eyes at her. Because I knew I was about to have a talking session. “Mom please can you just let me breathe. I am no longer a kid and you have to understand that fact, you don't have to stand here like you have been waiting all night for me. I didn't run away, I'm a grown-up for goodness sake. I'm a fucking adult.” I expressed but the frown on her face did not disappear; it was still there.

Shrugged. "I don't know what you mean," I said dropping my head. Joanne reached forward, placed her hand on my shoulder. "You want your boy to be an adult. So you have to make being an adult the carrot. Make him want to be an adult by making adulthood the reward," Joanne said. I snorted.

“My daddy could take care you too. He can protect you.” I snag another marshmallow. “I’m all grown up now.” I explain. “I don’t need to be taken care of anymore.” Grace wrinkles her brow. “But daddy says even grownups need someone to love them.” “Well, he’s right about that.” I concede. My mood sours even more.

“You want to grow up, don’t you? Or do you want to stay a kid forever?” “Of course I want to grow up!” Gia chuckled at his annoyed tone. Even though Svvere was still a child, he sometimes wanted to be taken seriously. Gia cleverly used that desire to persuade him. “Accepting unpleasant things in life willingly is part of being an adult. You can’t get angry or sulk whenever something doesn’t go your way. Only children act like that.” “But I’m annoyed,” Svvere said, pouting. “As an adult, you’ll encounter unpleasant things that are far more frustrating—almost daily.”

"We're in a better place now. Nelina is a woman who knows her worth. She has kept growing since the last time I met her. A few months have passed, and I've seen her defeating her demons. She is a strong woman." "Yes, I can't believe how much my daughter has grown in the last two years. It wasn't easy, I know that, but she managed." Mrs. Cruz said, her voice soft as she gathered my hand and squeezed it a little. "Thank you for taking care of my daughter. I always felt good about you being with Nelly, especially after you mentioned your grandma. She was one of the nicest women I knew." "Thank you, Ma'am. I adore her as well, lucky enough to have her and grandpa. They taught me everything I nee

“Very true. But I’m sure you’ve opened your eyes. You’re no longer being manipulated by a demon... and you’ve grown up.” I tense, pouting slightly. Everything she says is hopefully true, but grown up? I’ve been grown up for a while now. “What a mean thing to say...” I mumble. Leah looks puzzled. “I’ve been a grown-up for years now. Did I seem like a kid to you?”
