Good on your sister for not losing track of what makes her happy. Not doing things just because they are "childish" is the most childish trait an adult can display.
THATS the rest of the quote!!?! Ha. Man I’ve always just heard it stop at “ childish things”. Makes more sense now
Actually no, Lewis is parodying the Bible: https://www.biblehub.com/1_corinthians/13-11.htm
The Bible quote does say that, but he's poking fun at it by saying "why so serious?"
You heard it that way because that's because that's the end of 1 Corinthians 13:11:
C.S. Lewis is playing off of a Bible quote and that became its own thing.
Because quotes get cut wherever they benefit the person repeating them. You were shown the quote from people who don't enjoy life and want others to suffer the same way.
