My 7 year old was pillow talking at bed time:

I don't ever want to be an adult. Adults wear those boring clothes. I want to keep wearing beautiful and happy clothes, with colors. Adults lose their happiness. And they don't want to play. I don't want to stop playing. I want to keep my heart. And they think they can only give gifts on birthdays and Christmas, but I give gifts all of the time. I give people compliments, and I can make people happy. And adults stop singing, but I sing my song. And I don't want to lose my heart. I want to stay a kid forever. And they think you have to spend all of your time learning things and I don't want to forget who I am. And they think you have to pray with the right words in the right way, but the real prayer is in your heart and it's praying all of the time. I don't want to lose my heart.

I swear I'm not the adult that she speaks of! LOL!
