Many of the books I loved as a kid, that even my mother read as a child, are very slow going. Today's children are not as patient. The best example of this is 'The Secret Garden,' which I adored as a child.
When your child comes home to talk about life, what could be more important?
Trying to rewrite the past was a child's game, a pointless, ridiculous child's game no one ever won.
