- Fiction
In the sixth episode of Whims and Fancies, we present to you, Wit inspirations of the two-year-olds by Mark Twain, a comical story about how language and the strictness of parenting change over time. Something that was incredibly offensive several hundred years ago could be extremely laughable and harmless today. Something that could get a child in serious trouble back then could be completely overlooked today.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens better known by his pen name, Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. Twain was born shortly after a visit by Halley's Comet, and he predicted that he would "go out with it", too. He died the day after the comet returned. He was lauded as the "greatest American humorist of his age", and William Faulkner called Twain "the father of American literature".
