Why are freckles considered “childish”?
Lots of kids, probably most of them had freckles for a while when they were about 8-12 years old on the average, but outgrew them. Even I had a few. But some kids don’t outgrow them and in that respect makes them looks cute or childish, as you say. On the right person they really are adorable. http://farm1.static.flickr.
