  OK, Everybody...
  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...
  Best,
  Fred Thompson
