Sometimes Fun Doesn't Have To Be Either Mature Or Immature

Recently, I've been hearing different people talk about things being "immature". I can understand this in a professional setting, but, in personal relationships it makes no sense to me. Things that are fun between friends and/or lovers shouldn't be classified in this manner. Here are a few examples of what I'm talking about.

This morning, my financial advisor heard my voice mail greeting. His first response was "How old are you?" The other day my Dad heard it and said it was kind of long. People, it's my personal phone. It's not a business phone.

My next example involves my best friend. She has playfully squirted part of her drink at me through her straw just like my girlfriend does. Her, then boyfriend, accused them both of being "immature". This wasn't even aimed at him. It was aimed at me and I was having a blast. Neither of these ladies were doing this to truly torment me. We were all just having fun together. I was getting them back with looks or shaking a finger in their faces.

Other things have happened lately also. These are either things I've witnessed, been told, or heard about. To everyone who's caught up in the maturity/immaturity world and doesn't know how to just have fun with friends and loved ones, I just have one thing to say. GROW UP!!!!!!!!
