Grown-Up v. Beaten-Up

Remember as a little kid how cool everything was. Even the mundane things like sleeping bags and kids bedding was made cool by addition of cartoon characters, dinosaurs or outer space scenes. When does the coolness of being a kid stop? I guess it’s that arbitrary age when other kids decide they aren’t kids anymore and beat up the kids who haven’t come to that realization yet. In reality, one doesn’t grown up, they get beaten-up. It’s a cruel, cruel world.
