What does Benjie say about being a child in the novel, A Hero Ain’t Nothin’ but a Sandwich?

Benjie says that no one who lives where he does wants to be a child. Being a child holds you back in a lot of ways. Someone will steal your money and maybe knock you down if you are a child. Someone might sexually assault a child. The only people who want to be children are rich children who have their own house, their own room, their own swimming pool, and ride around in a Cadillac.
