I listen to people talking sometimes, that great river that is language, with all its undercurrents of grammar and nuance, and I wonder how we all learn so quickly to speak it, given that we begin when we are barely old enough to stand upright. I have no memory of finding it hard. Indeed, I have no memory of it at all. ↗

It is the selfish parents who are to blame. Pay attention, be involved in your children’s lives. They are your legacy, your only hope. ↗
