All work and no play forces Peter Pan to grow up.
(forces = very much against his will)
(forces = very much against his will)
For the longest time, Peter Pan had nothing else to worry about and no one else to take care of but himself. Yes, he would help with the bills at home, but other than that, he was free. Free to be a child and act like one (except for the full-time job, of course).
Fast forward to present...
After more than two years of being with Wendy, Peter Pan suddenly found himself turning into his worst nightmare. His world revolved around bills and paydays. The day would not end without Peter Pan checking his account balance on the latest ATM slip at least once. Peter Pan would always have upcoming bills and the next payday in mind. If someone would invite Peter Pan to go out or if Peter Pan himself even so much as thought of going out, Peter Pan would mechanically compute his and Wendy's remaining cash and the available balance on his credit card (which Peter Pan, of course, has already memorized in his sleep) and dismiss the idea more swiftly than you could say "freak". Peter Pan would, every morning, check the fridge before going to bed and estimate how long it would be before they ran out of food and then make a mental note to include food in the budget. Peter Pan would make mental notes of the help's pay. Peter Pan would constantly be thinking of how to budget his and Wendy's next pay. Peter Pan's every breathing moment would be about money and everything it makes go round.
