What would you choose as the story that describes your life?
I'm leaning toward Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak as the story of my life. Sendak's book shows a youngster who terrorizes the house and is sent to his room without supper. It ends with him waking to find: "his supper waiting for him – and it was still hot." That's my story. I've been treated better than I deserve.
I suppose there are a few rags to riches stories and maybe a Cinderella or Aladdin story out there somewhere. But for me, it's just a quiet tale of a warm meal at the end of the day. And I'm grateful.
