"And if it means I must prepare
To shoulder burdens with a worried air,
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me, Not I, Not me!
So there!"
Woah, today is my last day, legally, as a child. I'm turning 18 tomorrow.
How very odd.
I don't want to be growned up. :(
It's strange, you know. All those times you think you'll never make it to 18. Then you do, and it's like, "The heck? Where did the time go?"
Ah well! Time to be all seriousness and adultish. Tomorrow I must start doing very adult things. Like umm. Paying taxes. Yeah. I'll get started on that. And umm. Get married. I'll do that tomorrow, too. Telling children to be quiet so they can hear my stories about how tough it was when I was there age. And suing people. And getting an ulcer. Umm. This really doesn't sound all that fun.
I think I'll just chop off the 1 and be 17 going on 8. Yes.
No, I really will spend tomorrow in a very growned up way. I'm going to go see Peter Pan, read my new pirate books, and work on writing my fairy tales. After all, I always did want to be a writer by day, superhero by night when I growed up.
