Aging is mandatory. Growing up is optional.
No one graduated from Ms. Olsen’s class except Frazz.
Sometimes. Sometimes they don’t.
Caulfield is learning that sometimes just one word spoken at the right moment brings illumination.

It’s the obnoxious adults who’ll tell you how perfect they were as children.
