Thieving Weasels
“BRAUNSTEIN INTERCEPTED ME A FEW HOURS LATER ON my way home from work. I’d been avoiding my mother’s doctor for days because I didn’t want to hear how it was all my fault that she had tried to kill herself.

But this strategy backfired big time, and I was rewarded for my creativity with even more trips to the school psychiatrist.MoreLess
