Why do we grow up!

I woke up a January Morning to get ready to leave for work.
A glance out of the window with still heavy eyes and even in the darkness i could see the mist.
I knew instantly that it will be an extremely foggy day. That meant extra travel time and extra layers of clothing. Needless to say i wasnt happy about it.
About 30 mins later my cab arrived and I left. On the way i saw a kid of around 6 come out of a building on a two wheeler with his dad. He was mesmerized by the fog. I could see his eyes grow bigger as he scanned the surroundings. He said something to his dad happily,presumably about the fog. His dad could only manage a grunt in reply as he was trying to focus his attention a white space ahead of him.
The same fog that gave wonder to a child gave me a frown.
Wish i hadnt grown up.
