Dec. 22nd, 2004 12:02 amI was set firmly and relentlessly on the path to truth the day I broke a Wedgwood plate and, putting a brazen face on my mischief, nobly confessed all before Mother. I was three years old. Mother bent over me, showering me with the radiance of her approval. "I love you. You spoke the truth! What's a broken plate? Break a hundred plates!"
I broke plates, cups, bowls, dishes. I smashed livers, kidneys, hearts, eyes...The path to virtue is strewn with broken people and shattered china.
