Pah!

Some days the word "grown-up" makes me snort with derision. (Or, it would if I was a good snort-making person who did not cringe with embarrassment at the idea.) What a silly term. People are only ever grown-up in the most limited sense of the word. They should change it.

I think that "grown-up" is the same thing as 'perfect circle' or asymptotes, or the exact number of pi. You can never quite get there.

I plan on saying "when I grow up" until I'm old and grey. Perhaps it's the same thing as saying "when I stop learning" and one would be extremely boring if one stopped learning, I think.

Oh, betraying your academic background through the metaphors you use and the concepts your brain decides, outside of your own volition, to explore. It's like a beautiful Bob Ross-like rainbow of hilarity!
