The title is catchy and apt. Growing up takes a lot of learning and unlearning. Sometimes our environment, and the people in it are brunt as we grow and journey through life.

However old you get, you have to stay a child for as long as you can. I am forever five.
Brilliant story. I loved it.

  Thank you, Don! Growing up is all about drawing blood, I think, in emotional sense. That is why, I have remained a five year old throughout my life 😁
