A parent who from his own childhood experience is convinced of the value of fairy tales will have no difficulty in answering his child's questions but an adult who thinks these tales are only a bunch of lies had better not try telling them he won't be able to related them in a way which would enrich the child's life.

The little world of childhood with its familiar surroundings is a model of the greater world. The more intensively the family has stamped its character upon the child, the more it will tend to feel and see its earlier miniature world again in the bigger world of adult life. Naturally this is not a conscious, intellectual process.

I usually doze off between 7:30 and 9 p.m. while putting my baby to sleep. Then I suddenly wake up remembering I'm an adult with no bedtime. I spend the next four hours catching up on reading, e-mails, and other adult pursuits until I collapse for good until sunrise.
