Hello, sweetie! We know that you've been worried lately about making the transition from your carefree days of youth to the frightening "real world" of adulthood. But listen — it's no big deal. Grown-ups are just like kids, and for everything you miss about childhood, there's a parallel in the adult world. For example:

Childhood	Adulthood
Super Soakers	Mace
Jack-in-the-Box	Car Bomb
Tag	AIDS
Hide and Seek	Guerrilla Warfare
Strep Throat	Colon Cancer
Detention	Prison
Red Rover	Escaping from Prison
Home Run Derby	Taking Steroids
Our '93 Honda Accord	Your '93 Honda Accord
Bumper Cars	Drunk Driving
Playground Fights	Decision 2008
Nickelodeon Super Toy Run	The Lottery
Us, Your Parents	Us, Your Dead Parents
Laughing at Farts	Laughing at Farts

See? It's not so bad. Hey, remember that time we had a frank and honest discussion about your sex life?
