Do you think we will grow up?
Asked one small boy to another.
Do you think we will stay this size?
Asked the other boy.
My dad says we will,
He says it’s a day at a time.
If we died, we’d stay this size
Said the small boy suddenly reflective.
Like my mum, she’s dead
Announced the other small boy.
I’m not sure I want to grow up
Said the small boy.
I’m not sure I do either
Replied the other small boy.
My dad grew up, and he’s always worried
The first boy said hesitantly.
My dad grew up, and he’s sad and lonely
Said the other small boy.
Do you think a day at a time can be forever?
Asked the small boy
I hope so; I want it to be a long way off
Replied the other small boy.
We should make a pact
The small boy said looking into his future.
Yes a pact, to stay as boys for all time
The other small boy said hopefully.
My dad is worried mum will stop loving him
The small boy said
My dad is worried he’ll never be loved again
The second small boy explained
Growing up must be horrid
Said the small boy kicking the dirt
I don’t want to be grown up
Replied the other small boy.
Let’s shake on it
Suggested the small boy
Agreed and I’ll spit on my hand
Answered the other small boy cementing the deal.

Ages and stages, forever changing… Nicely penned!
Thanks so much.
I liked this Michael, and can imagine two young lads talking like this.
Thanks Di. I need to do more writing for the sake of writing and not prompt driven. Plus I’m trying out a new image app. So thanks for stopping by.
Hubby says I don’t seem to do so much Di stuff at the moment. He may have a point.
It’s so easy to get caught up with prompts isn’t it.
I do so enjoy them, but lately I seem to be struggling a bit! Still, with the bits and pieces going on in the house and garden, I’ll hopefully have some more ‘Di stuff’ to post.
Very nice!!
Thanks so much. Have a good day.
Perhaps that’s how Peter Pan started out. Growing older is mandatory, however, growing up is optional 🙂
Yes wise words Lyn
