Why I am Glad I am Not a Kid

Not least of all because I grew up in this disgustingly wealthy suburb (Ed's note: The South School Gymnasium has a really small ceiling. Nostradamus had seventh-grade YMCA basketball practice there every Thursday.)

Then again, I've always wished I grew up in the days when a child was forced to learn Greek and Latin, and where a young Thomas Chatterton could learn, from easily duped patrons, the intricacies of forgery before the age of 14... Those were the days.
