(National Pizza Week, by contrast, was founded in 1984.)
I would like to start by saying that children have excellent brains.
Who else could invent a joke like:Why wolves howl?

Because they have no idea what are they doing.
From them, their carers, their teachers, their peers.
The thing that has most surprised me as a parenti.e.
After all, babies scream, so they must be angry.
It can be alarming, which is itself a word that youll have to explain one day.
Becauseand this is genuinely hilarious to mehe doesntreallyknow what frustration is.
You cant know what you dont know.
It seemed like standing in front of a field of snow and saying, That is cold.
Except you actually do have to say that is cold to a child sometimes.
And they will get their tongue stuck to a puddle.
You may be wondering how I have taught my son to cope with his feelings.
To which the answer is: I havent.
And Im already busy preparing for the next National Pizza Week.
One thing at a time.
