Children are game for anything. I throw them hard words, and they backhand them over the net. They love words that give them a hard time, provided they are in a context that absorbs their attention.
E. B. White (1899–1985) American author, critic, humorist [Elwyn Brooks "Andy" White]
Interview (1969-09) by George Plimpton and Frank Crowther, “The Art of the Essay No. 1,” The Paris Review, No. 48 (Fall 1969)
