“Words matter. They matter a lot”

It may now be appropriate to reflect on the simple wisdom of a parent instructing their child to close their little eyes and repeat, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me”… “Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me…”

On the other hand, there are those of a more churlish disposition who will, appropriate to age, either continue to run off and tell mom or, later in life, harrumph-harrumph into squeaky-high dudgeon. :)
