Remember the Toys R Us Song and Peter Pan? When I was 6 they inspired me to never want to grow up. I remember believing I could will myself to stay 6 forever. I told all my family I was always going to be 6 so that I could play all the time and not have to grow up and become boring (have a job, not watch cartoons, that sort of thing).
