Alice Sit-By-The-Fire

After playwright J.M. Barrie created the eternally youthful Peter Pan, he continued to deal with the subjects of aging and relative maturity in his comedy "Alice Sit-by-the-Fire." Although the story is very much a period piece, the overarching themes of children thinking they're wiser than their forebears and adults having to learn how to use their life experience to be good parents still ring true.
