“I think it's more difficult writing what it's like to be a child. You can pretend you know what it's like, but you don't really know. The only parts I can remember is that the adults were like, "Aren't they cute?" But when you're little you're looking at the other kids like they're your colleagues. They're not like, "Oh, we're all cute little kids." They're more like your office acquaintances. It's very hard to grasp the memories of what it actually was like to be a kid.” ThinkingKnowsWritingChildrenLittlesI CanHardKidsRememberDifficultMemoriesLike YouOfficeAdultsCuteColleaguesLittle KidAcquaintance Author:Tama Janowitz
“On bad days, I think I'd like to be a plastic surgeon who goes to Third World countries and operates on children in villages with airlifts, and then I think, 'Yeah, right, I'm going to go back to undergraduate school and take all the biology I missed and then go to medical school.' No. No.” ThinkingWorldChildrenCountrySchoolThirdsYeahMedicalBiologyVillagePlasticBad DaySurgeonsThird WorldGraduate SchoolMedical SchoolUndergraduateThird World CountriesPlastic Surgeons Author:Tama Janowitz
