Speaking of charm school… August 30, 2007
Posted by Anya in : spontaneous degeneration, smiling is good for you , 2commentsTonight we were having snack, and Hyarion was kindly sharing his candy cigarettes with Atara and Chrissie. He launched one across the table at them. It hit the table and broke. Atara and Chrissie looked at each other in dismay, and then at Hyarion, wanting to know who had to take the broken one. He looked at their long faces and made a quick decision.
It was not, as I thought, the noble gesture of taking the broken one for himself.
No.
Rather, he broke another one and tossed the pieces to Chrissie. “Here,” he said. “That way they’ll both be broken. I think it’s better that way.”
*dropping of jaws*
