Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

Are you no longer an adult now that you are a pirate?
Like the rest of us, they just no longer visit department stores, or the mall.
Then what does being an adult have to do with it?
I was also an adult the last time I visitted the mall, years-ago. Were you an adult the last time you went to a mall? Has that changed in the manner of "was an adult but now am not"? Is you a pirate now, or a Benjamin Button?
Would there be a difference had they been a child?
Yes. Children are often more sensitive to senses due to less exposure to block them out.
Interesting. I've found that I become increasingly sensitive as I continue to age.
I do not understand.
The past tense "was" implies that you are no longer an adult.
Yarr, be ye holding yer breath, matey?
Combining these two pieces of information, I can infer that you have transformed from an adult ino a pirate. Congratulations.
It really doesn't though. Linguistic conventions don't override reality, and reality doesn't follow linguistic conventions. The reverse, however...
The law of humor supersedes all of these.
