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?

    ... As an adult, I would ...

    The past tense "was" implies that you are no longer an adult.

    ... hold me breath ...

    Yarr, be ye holding yer breath, matey?

    Combining these two pieces of information, I can infer that you have transformed from an adult into a pirate. Congratulations.
