Sunday we went down to Art Miami and saw, among other works, those of the 10-year-old boy who became something of a star last week. His paintings were interesting and looked not at all out of place, yet I kept thinking of a story I'd read about James Thurber. After his drawings began appearing in The New Yorker, mothers started submitting their children's work. Thurber sent them a standard reply: "Your son can certainly draw as well as I can. The only trouble is he hasn't been through as much."
