Adult
My dad has sometimes felt that I grew up a little lacking in sufficient eccentricity - in the sense that I'm willing to live as an adult in a house with walls that are parallel to each other, that sort of thing.

You know, as a young child, I lay in my bedroom and I swore to myself then: 'I'm not going to smoke and I'm not going to drink.' And I said I'm not going to just say that when I'm a kid. I'm going to stick to that as an adult. I kept that in mind my whole life.

The problem is that too many adults think their kids' lives are simple, or they try to make their lives simple, when their emotional lives are just as complicated as ours. They might have a few less tools to deal with it because they're young, but the emotions are all the same, and the subject matter is all the same.
问题是太多的成年人认为他们的孩子的生活很简单，或者他们试图使他们的生活简单，当他们的情感生活和我们一样复杂的时候。他们可能因为年轻而没有那么多的工具来处理这些问题，但是他们的情绪都是一样的，主题也是一样的。
