Even if we are adults (parents, professionals, etc at that), there is still a part of us that will remain as a child. Physically, I have grown up already, but the longing of a child to be with his parents (in my case, I miss my father...) is still there. I still love watching cartoons sometimes and I love eating ice cream and chocolates :). Sometimes, it would make me wonder why I never outgrew being a "father's little girl" and an ice cream fan. How I'd wish and pray that the Lord grants and instills in me the innocence and purity of a child's heart.

From your words, I can feel you're a person with a pure heart.The topic let me think a well-known book Little Prince.Do you read the book and do you impressed by the lovely Petter Pan with a little wings flying like a bird in the heaven? In my childhood, I only take it as a fairytale, a simple story. But as I have became a adult and experience lots of betrayal,cheat,and hurt,making me thinking the never-growing up prince, the angle with litte wings's story conveying lots of philosophical meaning to us,especially when YOU CAN NEVER BE A CHILD AGAIN!
Nobody can refuse growing up, it's the natural of law,we must accept it as our destiny.But growth doesn't mean loss of innocence and purity of child's heart, if we try to give love and be loved, we still will live as happy as a CHILD!

Maybe sometimes being childish comes out with us, in some situation like for me when iwas jealous of other girls. i feel very childish and when he will always go out to visit some friends, i'll not aloow him, i think its being childish on my part. i just cant control it.
