Let's Talk "Peter Pan"

Did you ever stop to think that maybe Peter Pan had it right all along?  What was his motto again?  “All I want to do is be a little boy and to have fun!”  I grew up thinking he was so wrong in that belief.  As children we’re taught that we should want to grow up.  Peter didn’t have his priorities straight…or did he?  What’s so great about being an adult?  You have bills and more responsibilities than I can name here.  Children don’t have that.  So we spend our youth wishing we were older so we could make our own decisions.  Then we spend our adult years wishing we had our youth back and not all of these worries.  “Peter Pan” was written by an adult after all.  His character might have stumbled on to the secret of a happy life.  Obviously, you can’t go back and be a little boy or girl again.  You can, however, still have fun.  No matter what your age, you can still go out and have a good time.  Maybe it’s not playing a game anymore.  Maybe it’s spending time with your children or grandchildren.  Whatever fun is for you, go do it.  I think that’s the hidden message behind “Peter Pan.”
