For most parts,
pleasing kids has always been easy. Take them to McDonalds and they’ll smile as
if they’re in a first-rate restaurant. Listen to their stories no matter how
mundane or imaginative and they’ll give you an irresistible smile. Yes, they
can have tantrums that root from the deepest parts of nowhere but even if they
can be little Veruca Salts at times, nothing you do for them is ever wasted.
