(get it??)
Anyway! I don't think I ever enjoyed pretending to do "adult" things as a kid—I mean, sure, some people liked playing house or baking or fake working, but it was never really my cup of tea. My friends and I would be guardians of the planet, or fairies, or superpowered elementals, or horses, even. I figured it was escaping from the mundane. I was in charge of drawing our magical personas, those different people in a different reality. Fighting pretend-bad-guys on the playground was my favorite thing—the cacophony of pewpews and fwooshes and zaps on the blacktop still brings back fun memories :—)
