I've pondered this question often. Sometimes, I still do. I don't think we're ever "adults" just because we're older. As kids, it always seemed like adults had the answers. Yet, as adults, we still ask other adults for questions when we don't have the answers.
@bendthemasses I think it's that the curiosity of a child eventually leaves as we grow older and become "adults." Think of how kids get excited around Christmas and how less excited adults are. It's the fact that we have knowledge and that we know things. There's less shock, awe, and wonder as we learn more and "grow up."

Exactly! It’s like those who remain kids seem to have better experiences because they stay curious.
