What is a sure fire sign that you're loosing your inner child? That you're growing up? I'm sure there are many various signs as you progressively get older. You notice the opposite sex more, your definition of "fun" seems to change, you become more independent, etc. There is one major event that always seems to stick in my head when I realized that I wasn't a kid anymore. About 4 years back I was pouring myself a bowl of cereal (again with the breakfast foods!) and the toy prize that they hide at the bottom of the box fell into my bowl. My reaction to this was one of minor annoyance because I was more concerned with the food. I was hungry and a toy wasn't going to help me with that.
Upon further thought, it dawned on me that there was once a time where, in that exact situation, I would've been more excited to get the prize rather than the cereal. It's kind of an interesting revelation to realize that you're not a kid anymore. I'm sure many, many other people has had this realization at some point and what I'm typing is nothing new, but it's still an interesting and kind of a scary thought. Personally, I don't think I will ever fully loose my inner child. I still love cartoons, comics, toys, video games etc. and I work every day so that I can make them professionally... but there's still a part of my "inner child" that is definitely gone. Kind of scary.
