Quote by Jenny Han

“Why can’t things just stay the same as before? Then nothing would ever change and you wouldn’t grow up; you would have stayed nine forever and never have turned ten. She wipes her nose with the back of her arm. “I might not mind that.” Then you’d never get to drive, or go to college, or buy a house and adopt a bunch of dogs. I know you want to do all that stuff. You have an adventurous spirit, and being a kid can get in the way of that, because you have to get other people’s permission. When you’re older, you can do what you want and you won’t have to ask anybody.”
