I've observed children who have had tremendous close friends in childhood but were unable to recreate that in adulthood. Sometimes it's easier to make friends when you're 5.

I'd still rather be friends with a bunch of 5 year olds. (Unfortunately everyone would probably think that's super creepy.)

Kids in that age range are uncomplicated. The only thing they really desire is that you play with them. They just don’t consider anything beyond that.

But it seems hard for many adults to play with children, so it becomes this anomalous thing, even though I’m fairly certain it’s just something we’ve convinced ourselves adults “don’t do”.

Tag is still fun, whether you are 7 or 37.
