Why are grown-ups so crazy?

When we reached the 8th class, our teachers congratulated that we had become adolescents. The word sounded esoteric and did not make sense. These lines were a small step in understanding and appreciating what adolescence was all about:


Why are grown ups so crazy?
When we do some work,
Then also they say, we are lazy.

They always want us to study,
When we want to play games,
And spend some time with our buddy.

When we burn our garments while ironing,
We are careless,
And get a big scolding.

When the same thing grown ups do,
It is not their fault,
They have a lot of things to do.

When we go out to often,
We are loafing around,
Once caught the grown ups do not soften.

When grown ups attend parties frequently,
They can’t help it,
As socializing is a necessity.
