They offer babies to homes where they are very much wanted, to adults who will care, and treat the child the way it should be treated.

The given passage illustrates just how naive Desdemona really is, when it comes to the ways of the world.

- 3357: Dandelion Wine: Douglas
- ... life we lived seemed so innocent. As we fall closer and closer to this wall we must climb; this wall that is ever so high, and ever so slick; we lose a little of the child within us. This wall, or barrier we must breach, is no more than a simple introduction. An introduction to the first day of the rest of our lives.

Once one can realize that they too are not immortal, at least in Doug’s case, you have made it over that wall that separates the child in you and the maturity you have to sometimes hit face on. “SOME DAY, I, DOUGLAS SPALDING, MUST DIE….” When Doug realizes this, he has finally fully made it over the wall dividing your innocence ...
