I Have This Idiot Name

Children Are Tough, Though We Tend To Think Of Them As Fragile. They Have To Be Tough. Childhood Is Not Easy. We Sentimentalize Children, But They Know What's Real And What's Not. They Understand Metaphor And Symbol. If Children Are Different From Us, They Are More Spontaneous. Grown-up Lives Have Become Overlaid With Dross.

Inside All Of Us Is... Hope. Inside All Of Us Is... Fear. Inside All Of Us Is... Adventure. Inside All Of Us Is A Wild Thing.

It's Only Adults Who Read The Top Layers Most Of The Time. I Think Children Read The Internal Meanings Of Everything.

Mothers And Children Are Human Beings, And They Will Sometimes Do The Wrong Thing.
