“If you could change one thing about your body, what would it be?” According to a new video by soap manufacturer Dove, children and adults answer that question in remarkably different ways.

Adults offered a litany of perceived faults: their foreheads are too long, their ears are too big, they wish the stretch marks would go away. One concluded the interview, saying her physical flaws always made her feel as if “I wasn’t quite adequate enough.”

Kids, on the other hand, said they wanted wings or a mermaid tail or legs like a cheetah. One said he’d like a shark mouth, “So I could eat a lot of stuff.” A couple said they liked their bodies just the way they were. (Time)
