We often confuse what we wish for with what is.

I was one those kids who had books on them. Before weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, funerals and anything else where you're actually meant to not be reading, my family would frisk me and take the book away.

I felt very much like a hooker who had just been told she was a lady of the evening.
