I think innocence is something that adults project upon children that's not really there.
Children have very sharp powers of observation - probably sharper than adults - yet at the same time their emotional reactions are murky and much more primitive.
Children love secret club houses. They love secrecy even when there's no need for secrecy
Children - if you think back really what it was like to be a child and what it was like to know other children - children lie all the time
I think it's hard to write about children and to have an idea of innocence.
