Adult entertainment

Being a kid is fun. Sadly, when you are a kid you can't wait to be an adult. Hence the saying, "Youth is wasted on the young", I suppose.
I suspect that one of the childhood things I miss the most is the 'having of fun'. Entertainment for children consists of cartoons, bright colors, fun games, skipping, jumping and running around like a maniac. That all ends around 13. Then comes the transition to the world of adulthood, and regrettably, "Adult Entertainment". At some point we decide (or society decides for us) that we need to put away the crayons and break out the booze. Adults are supposed to be entertained by heavy drinking and sex. Whether watching it, talking about it or participating in it. All I want to know is: "Why"? Why must so-called "adults" spend all of their time talking about "Goin' drinkin'", bar hopping, clubbing (not baby seals) and one night stands.
If games are played, they must involve "shots" or disrobing. Or both.
That's entertainment?
"Phooey!", Says I. A pox on all that refuse! If I want to watch cartoons, climb on monkey bars and skip instead of walk, then that is what I shall do. Of course, I will more than likely be shunned and/or locked up for my deviant and erratic behavior.
Oh well, please come and visit me during my incarceration. Please bring me chocolate and a game of "Pin the tale on the donkey". The Velcro kind, since I doubt I will be permitted to have sharp objects.
