When I was a child, I talked like a child,
I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the
ways of childhood behind me. -1 Corinthians 13:11
Once upon a time, my
every desire was catered to. Whether the desire was food, attention, a
particular toy, or whatever else, the secret was to cry loudly. It worked almost every
time. The reverse worked the same way. If there was anything I didn’t want,
crying loudly was the signal for a different plate, my other toy, the channel
with Barney, or whatever else I wanted changed. In those days, I got what I
wanted, when I wanted it and how I wanted it.
