And thanks for quoting my personal hero, Pogo Possum.

Let's watch Fred climb out onto a precariously thin limb... << Why does society force us to grow up into more acceptable roles? >> I will badly misquote e.e.cummings and offer "We must do all in our power to fight that society that would try to make us be like everyone else." I would like to suggest that we can't blame society. Or anyone else.... In fact, as POGO suggests, "We have met the enemy and he is us!" We ALLOW ourselves (some of us) to conform, because, for some, it's the easier way. My first and honest reaction to your comment, Mary, ("However, society tends to look down on those things as childish things...") was 'Screw 'em. Your neice should be encouraged to go her own way and 'Damn the torpedoes..." Deep down, those nay-sayers in our so called 'society' grudingly respect and envy those who stand their ground or dare to be different. Only they dasn't let anyone know how they feel, lest their 'peers' disapprove. 'Nuf said...
