Childhood

It seems whatever we do to the utmost at a developmental age somehow stays with us.

I read in a magazine adults respond to children who talk more, but that would indicate even when we're supposed to be quiet or still, like in school.

It's a wonder how Germans know classical music is an attainment to be skilled in as an adult.  In the US, it's something you don't think twice about.  Fast classical songs are peppy things kids would be excited about developing skill in playing.  What about dance?  Little girls start out in cute, bright outfits and later learn a wider array of things.

"Childhood's joy land
Mi-istic merry toy land
Once you pass its borders
You can ne'er return again"
