There’s something to be said for the wildness of childhood. I aim to say it.

Let it BE. Too often, we try to civilize the life out of childhood. We try to cram it into Precious Moments figurines, or drown it in saccharine, fantastic reminiscences of our own manufacture. That Disney-Channel childhood? It was never so tedious, never so annoyingly right, never so safe.

Er…yeah. I’ve been reading a lot of Bradbury lately.
