Why didn't anyone tell me that this is such a sad story? I cried when I read the ending. I mean, there is just something so bloody tragic about how Peter forgets that Wendy has grown up and comes back every year for her, thinking she'll still be the little girl that will fly away to spring clean with him.
Imagine the shock. The betrayal! The sense of loss!
But then of course, he got over it and started off with some other little girl again. Because he's "gay and innocent and heartless" and all, but still the whole thing about everyone else growing up and leaving Peter behind again and again WITHOUT him knowing it, and him in turn forgetting them quite callously, actually, just made me weepy all over again.
So much for fairytales being light bedside reading material.

PW! u r becoming soppy! u r stronger than that, woman! dun let anybody turn u into this mushy person...
PW has always been a die-hard romantic. As much as she hates to admit it.
Anyway, yeah, Peter Pan is super bittersweet. If you want n upbeat happy pappy version, grab Hook at the video store where Peter Pan finally got a clue, grew up, got hitched and had children...
But anyway, with so much happening in our lives as we grow up, even Archie comics fail to be light bedside reading material.....
