This reminds me of a Mafalda cartoon.  One of the characters,  Miguelito, has 
a dream in which a man dressed in business attire tells Miguelito  that from 
now on children will no longer be called children but "developing  adults" 
then the man celebrates be drinking whisky and smoking a cigar.   Miguelito, 
however is not allowed either drink nor smoke since he is a  "developing adult" 
and that will be bad for him.  The man the proceeds to  order him to clean his 
room and then go out to play.  The next day  Miguelito tells Mafalda of this 
dream saying: I dreamed we still where still the  bottom of the ladder, but God 
what respect!  I guess it loses something in  the translation.
