Please hold my hands

Peppermint Patty and Charlie Brown
sitting down below the tree one day.


Peppermint Patty wonders and asks Charlie Brown:

[Chuck, what is security to you?]

Charlie Brown blinks and thinks for a short moment, then answers Patty with a warm smile:

[secruity is...]
[Security is when you are a little kid, going far away with your parents in a car. It's dark and stormy outside and you get to sleep in the backseat.]

Charlie Brown pauses and continues:

[You know your parents are in the frontseat, doing all the worrying.
They take care of everything, you don't have to do a thing.]

Peppermint Patty thinks for a while, smiles and says :

[that's real neat, Chuck]

But Charlie Brown continues to say:

[But it doesn't last. Suddenly you are all grown up, and it can never be that way again!]


Peppermint Patty becomes furious and cries:

[never??]

Charlie Brown, answers with a firm yet sad tone:

[ABSOLUTELY NEVER]
