I am sitting here in my study. Behind me at a kiddie table is Daniel Oliver
Derbyshire, aged 8, doing his English homework. He has to work his way
through a list of ten words, making a sentence with each word. One of the
words was “were.” Danny made up and wrote down the following sentence:
“I wish I were invulnerable.”
The only help I gave him was in the spelling of “invulnerable.”
Is parenting worth while? Oh, yeah.
