"¿Qué es un adulto? Un niño inflado por la edad."

Simplified Meaning:

As people grow older, their bodies change and they gain more responsibilities, but they are still the same person inside who once was a child. Think about how a balloon starts small and grows bigger when you blow air into it. Similarly, a person starts as a child and becomes an adult as time passes. This means that adults often keep some of their childhood dreams, fears, and joys inside them. For example, an adult might still love playing games or get excited about their birthday, just like they did when they were children. Even though adults have jobs and take care of their families, they might still enjoy the simple pleasures they loved as children, like watching cartoons or playing with their children. In our daily lives, this idea can help us remember not to take life too seriously all the time. Allowing ourselves to remember and enjoy the simple things can keep our spirits high and make life more fun. It also helps us relate better to kids because we understand that at heart, every adult was once a child with the same basic feelings and dreams.
