The people who tell you you're too old for Elmer aren't worth listening to.

It's not unusual for adults to like cartoons aimed at a younger audience. If they didn't, we wouldn't have artists working on these shows. Or at least, artists who don't all hate their job. I've met my fair share of animators, designers and artists who enthusiastically talk about unique walk cycles and cartoon characters who inspired them to pursue their interest.

Cartoons are fun. You get to exaggerate with them and tell more outlandish stories.

Likewise with authors who write children's books. They don't all hate their job either.

To quote C. S. Lewis:
"A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest."

I have a childlike way of looking at the world. I live in a Gingerbread Winter Wonderland with lots of mountains and trees. Every day is Christmas in my world. I don't care if people think I'm too old to be living in my own little world. It's not their world to judge.

Hmmmm.......maybe Munich is more my city than London after all. You can't see mountains or trees in London.

Why does it matter if they don't believe you? Sometimes one has to accept that other people are wrong about something and that they can't be corrected.
