I have been thinking a lot about what it is that makes play seem so inappropriate for adults when all the scientific research says that play creates bigger and healthier brains, increases productivity and creativity and boosts our mood. Do you have any thoughts on why it is a norm for play to be considered not appropriate or immature? Thanks for your comment! Katie Evelyn,

I doubt I will ever be like bouncing off trampolines or running to my neighbours' house. Still, thanks for my children, I'm also having a second chance with experiencing fun in a kiddie sort of way. Life certainly looks a lot different when we feel joyous! I like the idea of putting a fun hat, although I must admit that while growing up I was discouraged from acting silly by some adults.
