Fair point. The context of that quote was that he was asked by a journalist for a quick explanation over the phone when the physics Nobel for 1965 was announced. He did go on to write a very readable little book (from a lecture series) on the subject which has photons wearing little watches and waiting for the hands to line up. I'd say a keen eight-year-old could get something from that. https://ia600101.us.archive.org/17/items/richard-feynman-pdf-library/Feynman%2C%20Richard%20%2837%20books%29/QED/Feynman%2C%20Richard%20-%20QED%20%28Princeton%2C%202006%29.pdf https://ia600101.us.archive.org/17/items/richard-feynman-pdf...
