Being grown up is not about having a serious and conservative view of the world. Nor is it about giving up being a child.

Maturity is knowing when to be a child.

When a co-worker gets on your nerves – this is the time to be an adult, express how you feel and seek resolution.

When someone taunts you affectionately or pushes you into a pile of fall leaves. This is the time to be a child. Make faces at them, blow your best raspberry and pull them right in after you.
