I've never read anything by Vonnegut. The other day, a 4 year old presented me with an old paperback copy of Jailbird. 
Kid: "You should read this!"
Me: "Why?"
Kid: "Because it's hard!"

Later, he asked me what my name was. I told him and asked him if he liked it. He made a face, as if he couldn't decide.
Me: "You don't like my name?"
Kid: "I won't throw that name away."
