Grammar
Two questions...
Hello everyone,
I'm wondering whether some expressions are correct or not.
They are some confusing so...I would like to hear your opinion.
Would you check them and comment some here for me?
Thank you very much!

Q1: In the following dialogue, can I respond like B?
A: Did you see the musical Cats?
B: No, but people say it is something not to be overlooked.
(Or should I say "it is something not to overlook" ? To me both are alright but not sure)
Q2:
A: How long have you been collecting the stamps?
B: Since I was in childhood.
(Or should I say "Since I was childhood", which sounds awkward to me ?)
