Grown Ups What's the Big Idea?

-Hello, Hugo.

-Who, me?

-What do you know?

-Let's see!

# I know there's a lot I don't know

# I like questions that lead to questions

# Ask away, let's see where we go

# OK! What is work? What is play?

# Why do walls get in the way?

# Where is love? What's a friend? Will my questions never end?

# What is fear? Why do we laugh?

# Why do I hate to get wet but never in the bath?

# Why is this not that?

# Why is that not this?

# Who, where, when, how?

# What's the big idea? #

Yes, what's the big idea?

-Hello, Hugo.

-Hi, Hugo.

-Hi, Lily. Hello, Felix.

What is a grown-up?

-I think your mum is a grown-up, Hugo.

-And your dad.

-And your uncle.

-And your aunt.

-And your doctor.

-And your teacher.

-And your sister too.

She is not a grown-up.

SHE BLOWS RASPBERRY

So, grown-ups are a lot, lot, lot, lot, lot older than me.

THEY GASP

But they're still looking good.

Blah blah blah, I'm a big, boring grown-up, blah blah blah.

But you're a lot, lot, lot older than your baby sister, Hugo.

So, when does someone become a grown-up?

Grown-ups are big, so maybe it's when you grow bigger.

Tall ones go to the back row, please.

Say, "cheese!"

-ALL:

-CHEESE

But he's bigger than all of them and he's not grown-up at all.

People grow up at different speeds. So, I don't think it's about size.

I think he's grown up because he doesn't play any more.

But my dad's a grown-up and he loves to play with me.

Hey-up!

Catch, Hugo! Huh-ho!

I think she's grown-up because she has a job.

But my mum is a grown-up and she stays at home to look after us.

Blah blah blah blah, he he he...

And that is a job!

I think we're grown-up when we leave home.

And we find a place of our own.

Hugo, will you please come home?!

Or maybe it's the things we do.

# Grown-ups can be taller But grown-ups are not just tall

# Grown-ups can be older But that's not it at all

# Grown-ups have to go to work There's lots that work forbids

# Grown-ups act like grown-ups But they sometimes act like kids. #

Rrrrrr.

Erm, can I have my ball back?

Argh! It's so confusing!

Hugo, come home, it's time for your bath.

But do we all become a grown-up in the end?

-We all get older.

-We all leave school.

-We all leave home.

-We all find work.

-Or have families of our own.

-Or look after others.

We all have to look out for people who haven't grown up yet.

Do I have to grow up, even if I don't want to?

What do you think?
