Pro: Children ask better questions than do adults. "May I have a cookie?"
"Why is the sky blue?" and "What does a cow say?" are far more likely to
elicit a cheerful response than "Where's your manuscript?" "Why haven't you
called?" and "Who's your lawyer?"
Con: Even when freshly washed and relieved of all obvious confections,
children tend to be sticky. One can only assume that this has something to
do with not smoking enough.
