Kids enjoy laughing and are seldom bored when they find something funny. They also ask questions, often to adults, because they understand that the more words they can comprehend about a funny story or a joke, the more they'll enjoy it.

I like all things grammatical, and I had already written several books about parts of speech, and even the alphabet, so everything that makes up a sentence and even a word was covered except for punctuation.

I love the semicolon; it's unnecessary, but graceful and sophisticated.

Not only is love blind, it’s a little hard of hearing.

There’s no such thing as free kittens.

Children are like sponges; they start to smell after a little while.

If I have a talent for making some fourth-grader who hates school and reading to hate it a little less, then I have to do the most with what I've been issued.
