Once girls and boys tried in every way to appear women and men made, often with ridiculous results. Now, however, there were men and women who tried to look like kids until, presumably, one day they woke up one step away from old age. {Marrakesh}
In the past, boys and girls often went to great lengths to mimic adults, resulting in humorous outcomes. They imitated the mannerisms and appearances of men and women, striving to fit into societal roles, sometimes in ways that seemed absurd. This reflects a common desire for maturity and acceptance within societal norms.
In a shift from the past, the narrative presents a scenario where adults now seek to appear youthful, attempting to capture the essence of childhood. This trend leads to an ironic situation where, in their quest for eternal youth, they risk confronting the inevitability of aging, highlighting the absurdity of trying to escape the natural process of growing old.
