little trouble makers

I came upon the best reason ever to have children. Apparently, in Victorian literary families it was a common practice for children to write a family newspaper or magazine for one's family. Harper's magazine published a few of Virginia Woolf's articles she wrote for her family newspaper when she was only 10; they were wonderfully funny. Theoretically, if I had a few little ones I could put them to work writing pithy articles for my entertainment. I love this idea.
