Awwwww...I like the notion of some of my favorite IF's having been babies, toddlers and children once, too. This is why I like this one, along with some of CG's "What if the IF's were kids?" sort of pics so much. It seems almost sad that some of the IF's, like Wilt, for example, have always been perpetual grown-ups. Sure, Wilt can have fun, and be silly sometimes, but it's almost like he does so a bit reluctantly, like in "Make Believe It Or Not", just like most grown-ups when they find themselves sorta getting dragged into a kid's game. Still, he cannot really relate to what it's like to have a REAL childhood-to have those memories of things that kids hold dear, that they can look back on as adults with fondness. He cannot remember what it would be like to put baby teeth underneath the pillow in hopes of the "tooth fairy" leaving some money there, or of sitting on a grandparent's lap and listening to them tell stories, or of that scary adventure that is the first day of school. I have to wonder, sometimes, if he ever wishes that he could experience what it would be like to be a little kid, if only for awhile.
