Thanks Tor. I wanted to get these ideas and this process across simply, so that a five-year-old could understand it. That’s what I was thinking about when I wrote it.

Your writing about the five-year-old got me right smack in my heart. "We watched it all." No kidding you did. You affirm quite brilliantly Flannery O'Connor's advice in _Mystery and Manners_: "The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days."
