Puppets are for kids, right? Well, in one sense, yes. Because kids have intense and untamed imaginations.  When they see a painted piece of polystyrene talk and fly (and sing) they are utterly transported.  We grown-ups less so. 

It always feels foolish to rail against the modern world. We remember our parents and grandparents disapproving of our youthful frolics and fixations and when our turn comes to be grown-ups, we try to have enough self-awareness not to disapprove too loudly in our turn.
