Thanks so much for the lovely comment! I've actually not read Robert Fulghum's books myself, but the lines I quoted are part of a poem that used to hang on the wall of my sixth grade classroom.
And the Sherlock as a child analogy is one of my favorites, too, I think mostly because of Lestrade's line in ASiP: "Because Sherlock Holmes is a great man. And I think one day, if we're very lucky, he may even be a good one." The idea of a man in his 30s "growing up" to be a good person instantly charmed me...and the part where Lestrade was saying it, and I'm an inveterate Sherlock/Lestrade shipper, only made it better. :-)
