Growing Down

Hi all,
Peety here. I am, again, filling in for the hard training Brian. Today, I'd
like to take a look at how myself, and most of the readers of this blog
have grown down. What is growing down you ask? It is the opposite of
growing up. For example, for most of my high school and college Christmas
seasons, the gifts were that of one who was growing up. Most of the gifts
received were of the practical sort.....clothes ,tools, car items, and the
lot. I noticed that once we got to the "real world", we've turned back into
kids. Now most gifts I request are from the era of my childhood....Star
Wars, The Hulk, video games, etc. Brian now has a rainbow assortment of
lightsabers. Mr. Turkentine has a whole room dedicated to Civil War figures
and electric race tracks. I have a room dedicated to Star Wars, The
Beatles, The Hulk, Dallas, and various other interests. My question is, is
everyone like this? Do we all work so hard to get to adulthood, just to
regress back to childhood? I have no complaints with this. I enjoy it very
much. I just hope we're not the only ones doing this.

Mr. Bach: "Arthur, I've been waiting for you to grow up. I can't
wait any longer."
Arthur Bach: "Congratulations, father. You win"
Mr. Bach: "I had every intention of winning."
From the movie-- Arthur

My husband bought me a Nintendo our first Christmas - definitely growing down. And I had no idea you were such a creative writer.
