As WC Fields famously said, 'I like children, but I couldn't eat a whole one' !!
Of course, I don't class you as a child. Maria Esther - I was just referring to the screaming and running around type of child - but even those aren't too bad!
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'
(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)

I don't know consider myself as a child anymore, my childhood is gone...
And, I don't like children very much, if you know what I mean. I still believe in the saying "children should be seen and not heard"

The times I have heard that said back in the late 50's and early 60's by aunts, neighbours and anyone else who thought I was getting on their nerves!
