kids, the real grown-ups

when she was 4-5, i used to tease her saying:"don't be in a hurry to grow up, sweetie, stay a lil' kid, it's so cooolll !!"
she used to answer:"but i do wanna grow as soon as i can; i wanna be a grown-up, aunt, it's even cooooolller."

now being almost 10, i was talking to her on the phone the other day and reminded her of this, she replied:"yeah, i do remember it, aunt. and i miss my childhood(!!) now."
