“All children, except one, grow up.”
Peter Pan, J. M. Barrie
I close my eyes as tightly as possible and try to remember myself as a young girl. I remember refusing pink. I remember not wanting to sleep at 8 p.m. I remember refusing to eat animals that looked like what they were. There were days when I refused to go to school, and days when I refused to stay at home. I refused not to scribble notes in my books. I used water bottles as microphones and cans as weights. I remember refusing to lower the volume of the cassette player, and the correction fluid we weren't allowed to use on paper, which I then used as nail polish. We all did. Maybe, just maybe, childhood was all about refusal.
