Its only when you grow old that you realize the joy of being a child. A child is forever eager to grow up, finish studying begin the "joyous" office life and earn money. Hardly does the kid know it only gets worse. The justification in favor of the child is his “maturity level”. Therefore, a child can get away with trying to act old because he is immature and let me put it this way… its just “Aww, so cute!!!”
As you grow older this “maturity level” increases (atleast is expected to). So it would be immature if a grown up would want to be a kid again (lets be practical, forever, is just plain annoying). It is considered immature if you want to play a silly prank, even if it makes people laugh, its immature to hop on a swing and sway till you have forgotten all your worries, its immature if you still like licking a cone ice cream rather than using a spoon, its immature if you still like to hog on your chocolates and candy bars, and so on….
It would be considered immature to desire for childish happiness even if it is once in a while, even if, for that moment, it is all that you happy, because lets face it-- you are 30, and well you would rather be called aunty than play a game of snakes and ladders :)

Yea SOCIETY and the average person around you thinks its NOT ok for a grown-up to want to be a child. But the real challenge is in going against the same people and standing up for whats right. To me, whats right is what makes me happy. In every dimension. Happiness in its purest sense. Maturity, to me, is the ability to shed all the inhibitions and constraints forcefully imposed upon us from the second we were born, and reclaim the innocence we lost the very second we were born.
