and it is quite undwarvish to draw attention to the difference.
Oh I know I think some mothers forget that boys will be boys - I mean I saw my god son the other week and I couldn't understand why his parents were getting so narky with him - if you have a small boy, a stick and a set of railings it is inevitable that the small boy will trail the stick across the railings .. he wasn't actually doing any harm.....

Little children obsessed with Tolkien? What? How on Arda do you get them to be obsessed? It's easy to get them obsessed with things like Doctor Who, but Tolkien?
Anyway, I like orclings! That's what my little brother is! Or how about Middle-Earthlings? I suppose Entings works fine for the kids, but do you have to stay with the "ings" at the end of every word? Sorry, I'm rambling...

Shouldn't we call them Nazgul-cubs? They sometimes sound like little Screechers
. Sorry, I usually call most children I see (or hear, most likely ) Nazgul-cubs. But seriously now, I think little Hobbits would suit young Tolkien-fans better than Entings. Most children have something Hobbitish in them in my oppinion.
