    Get you parents to tell you what they were like as a kid.

    Even if he did that it could possibly “backfire” – it could reveal that what’s going on in the real world is a bunch of nonsense.

    During the lockdown, when kids were taking classes over Zoom (or whatever) I saw what the teachers were reading during “story time”. Every one had a moral – climate change, inclusion, racism, bullying, etc. I’m progressive but FFS – let a kid be a kid.

    That’s why fairy tales are so wonderful. On the surface, they’re all fantasy and nonsense, but deeper down they do have life lessons. Andrew Lang’s collections are the best!
