I asked my year 1 classes 'What's the one thing you need to be an adult?'
Here is my analysis;
A THREAD

Alice - 'A beautiful dress and a baby'

Step aside Meryl Streep there's a new devil in Prada's. She's a big business woman, juggling motherhood. A single parent because men are trash. But she's got a beautiful dress and knows her self worth. Her baby is already better than you.

Katie - 'Do the food shopping and not live with your mum'

If this is the case, then a handful of my friends are still children. Which again, is absolutely true. Katie is spot on I think. Adulthood is basically just getting excited about a big food shop and not being with mummy.

Jack - 'I don't think you need anything'

I'm actually convinced he's the smartest person alive now. He's just unfazed by everything. As if he's got a 3rd eye or already lived a thousand lives. He knows nothing matters. You're only really adult when you decide to be. Genius lad.

Toby - 'ID'

He had absolutely no idea what ID stood or what it meant. He just said you'll need some ID. Which, in some ways is true. He also added that he had an amazing idea for a drive-thru cereal restaurant. It was a good idea. It was completely irrelevant to the question.

Emma - 'Never giving up not matter how hard'

I think this is the most correct answer. Being an adult is all about perseverance. Try again. Knowing that regardless of the situation, you can absolutely pull yourself through and come out stronger than ever. Emma is already adult.

Mikey - 'Bigger shoes and socks'

He pondered for a while. I genuinely thought we were going to make a breakthrough. But, alas, no. I mean yes, I suppose he's technically correct. But my god, how does his mind get to that answer!? I asked if adults can be small...He just laughed

Ravi - 'When you love someone'

Let's be clear, Ravi isn't talking about puppy love or lust. He's talking love. Real love. What The Beatles have been singing about. Honest, trusting, bonded love. Whoever is lucky enough to marry Ravi will have a fantastic husband. A real man.

Rosie - 'Lots of birthdays'

There you go Mr Pointon, a few more birthdays. That's it. I actually cackled and she, right so, got annoyed. I just loved the directness of the answer. Grow up. Be an adult. Death. I asked how many brithdays. She said "I don't know, maybe 10 or 30".

Wendy - 'Feeling happy about things'

Wow. Didn't expect a gut punch from Wendy but okay. Is being an adult about contentment? That feeling of finally enjoying the precious moments life hands you. The still. The calm. For once, feeling, happy...No it isn't. Adulthood is hell.

Ben - 'When you get to make rules'

He clearly is living under the iron fist. The forth Reich. He can't wait to break out on his own. I asked him what rules he'd want and replied, very quickly "Play more games and eat". I personally hope it works out for you Ben. I really do.

Susanna - 'Get a pet, like a cat or even something like a wolf'

She's become obsessed with Wolves recently. She can't wrap her head around them. Are they dogs? Are the Tigers? Who knows? Getting a pet does show responsibility and she's be a fantastic pet owner. Full of love.
