The truthful simplicity of the untruth. Is what Beatrice Potter said, of Ted Geisel's rhymes. Is it true the untrue is so believable? Who know. I, for one, must say I simply cannot say I know. I, for another, might say I believe unknowing is for one thing no worse than for two. Any two agreed, as greedily as any two ever in was, create a mind combined of two as different as me from you… agree and we form us, from a we wisht were true, a we some see as awesome, just me and you.

I live with five children I need not correct nor control, and we play on the day after Christmas in timeless, persistent simplicity. Living until childhood's innocense it sweeter than knowing better, is as good a reason to suffer growing old as any ever sold.
