Yes. I think hello kitty is adorable and she’s childish. My daughter loves hello kitty very much. there are many hello kitty pictures on her bowl, her ladle, her cloths, her bags.

I would think I could accept others whether adults or children loving things on which had kitty pictures or putting on those cloths. This is some one’s hobby. I respect it.

But I don’t like it like child likes it. I think I have lost my innocence.
