Was reading the book 'The Little Prince'. Here is something that I read last night:


... Grown-ups like numbers. When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask questions about what really matters. They never ask:"What does his voice sound like?" "What games does he like best?" "Does he collect butterflies?" They ask:"How old is he?" "How many brothers does he have?" "How much does he weigh?" "How much money does his father make?" Only then do they think they know him ...

:sweat: I ask for numbers too.

I ask "How many butterflies have you collected?" :bsmile:

Which makes you a grown up that's young at heart? :thinking:
