Q. What are anklebiters?

A. They are little kids, very little kids, starting out early to be general nuisances--asking for things, getting into the cookies, leaving their toys all over the place, invading swimming pools a full five minutes before the adult lap hour is finished, things like that. They don’t actually bite, they just look and sound like hell-bent irritants only just so high from the ground. But bless their little so-called hearts, they deserve a name of their own, don’t they?
