Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card. ” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it. ” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received.

In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.
