Adam was just singing, “The on Earth, the on Earth waves, on Earth came a newborn tree” to the tune of “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”. I tried to correct him and teach him the proper lyrics, and he told me, “You don’t know the words to this song. I know the words. You used to know the words when you were a kid, but you are a grown-up now and don’t know them anymore”.

“Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.” – from ‘The Little Prince’ by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
