There Are Many Things Children Accept As "grown-up Things" Over When They Have No Control And For Which They Have No Responsibility--for Instance, Weddings, Having Babies, Buying Houses, And Driving Cars.

My Friendship With Mitzi Was Like The Friendship That Many Children Have With Their Pets. My Mother And Father Thought It Was "good For Me" To Have A Dog For A Companion. Well It Was Good For Me, But It Was Only Many Years After She Died That I Began To Understand How Good It Was, And Why.
