Thank you, Janet. What you say about beauty, learning, freedom, and time is just wonderful.

From the eyes of a child: it didn't matter which version of the narration was there, I didn't get it. Seeing it all again with adult eyes I see how much I didn't get. I would always leave the ride with "Tomorrow" from Annie in my head. Yet I loved the ride and it inspired my imagination, and the oldest version is certainly more inspiring to my adult self than that of the others. (I won't mention what I thought of the Figment one . . .)

My point is this: You cannot dumb down talk enough for a child to understand on the first hearing. A child needs to experience complex ideas in many contexts with the freedom to explore and question. Yet even a child can appreciate beauty and beauty in the spoken word she does not yet fully understand.

So let's expose our kids to the best and the beautiful and be by their side as they explore and question it. Let's not worry if they can take a test at the end showing they understood the main points. True understanding comes only with time and freedom. All shortcuts are only dead ends.

Thanks for this walk down memory lane!
