Now, I wish I'd had adults who'd understood what the hell I was on about when, as a kid, I tried to express thoughts like that. Astrid doesn't know how lucky she is! I can still feel my frustration in year 2, trying, with limited vocabulary, to explain to nuns precisely why Row Row Row Your Boat was so deeply significant. They'd just pat me on the head and smile, "It doesn't mean anything, dear, it's just a nursery rhyme."
