==Explanation==

Apparently a continuation of [[150:Grownups]], a dark-haired girl is showing off a blanket fort (which is actually a combination blanket-and-pillow fort) to her light-haired friend, who implies that her childishness (as evidenced by her previous ball pit and the current fort) stems from a fear of growing up. Dark-hair responds that she's fine with growing up, and that her behavior is actually mature realization that some things we enjoyed as children are still enjoyable. When pressed for evidence that she has in any way become an "adult," it is revealed that her boyfriend (most likely the guy from [[Grownups]]) is inside the blanket fort but has not spoken until now because he's "not exactly dressed," implying "adult" activities have been going on in it (though probably not in the sense that light-hair meant).

==Transcript==
:[Two girls are talking with each other.  There is a fort made of cushions and :blankets on the left]
:First Girl: Like my fort? It uses every blanket and cushion in the apartment.
:Second Girl: Okay, no offense, but this is like that ball pit you made -- Cute, but don&'t you worry you're clinging to childhood games because you're afraid of change?
:First Girl: No. I'm happy to grow up. But I won't pretend fun things aren't still fun out of fear of looking silly.
:Second Girl: But you're 24 and building blanket forts. How have you changed? What's adult about that?
:First Girl: Well, there's my boyfriend curled up in the back.
:Second Girl: ...Ah.
:Boyfriend [from inside the fort]:Excuse my shyness.  I'm not exactly dressed.

 ==Explanation==
-In an apparent continuation of comic [[150: Grownups]], [[Megan]] is showing off a {{w|blanket fort}} to her friend [[Ponytail]]. Ponytail answers that Megan's childishness stems from a fear of growing up.
-Megan responds that she's fine with growing up. She sees her behavior as a mature realization that some of the things she enjoyed as a child are still enjoyable. When pressed for evidence that she has in any way become an "adult," it is revealed that her boyfriend is inside the blanket fort. He has not spoken because he fears to be found by them when "not exactly dressed," thus implying that "adult" activities had been going on in the fort.

-The title text provides another example of this: They built a fort in the woods, another type of fort that a kid would love to have, but then used it to hide a body. This implies that they killed someone, which is not usually something associated with children.{{Citation needed}}  A hooker is also more formally known as a {{w|prostitute}}, which is also not usually something associated with children.{{Citation needed}}
