Grown ups are parents teachers and people behind shop counters. i did not think of them as part of my future anymore than i thought of death. to me, it was a children's world.Adults were people who were too old to be children. deprived of all that they knew and that made them happy, they grew mad and dangerous. they ate unpleasent food and emanated pungent smells. they were angry and violent, and constantly had to be forgiven. Men and women locked themselves behind doors togerher and morned and argued with restrainted madness. they did curious things together of which children were warned but not told.
