Hi Dark, Lol! Puff eating Jack. That would be an interesting if very classic Greek ending to the story. :D
Seriously, though, I agree. that innocence doesn't have to completely disappear when you grow up. Yes, when we grow up part of being an adult is learning life isn't so care free, that things are not always as they seem as a child, but we can regain some of that innocence if we want it. We don't have to completely give it up because we are older and wiser now than we were as children.Some times I think we put too much of a divide between adulthood and childhood that we forget we still need time to play, to see good in the world, and to let the child inside out for a while.
