    Очень странный рассказ, о котором невозможно рассказать ничего, чтобы не испортить впечатление. Читать его следует на одном дыхании, не прерываясь ни на секунду (серьёзно, обязательно так), но вам и не захочется прерываться.

    “First Goldilocks tried the papa bear’s bowl of porridge, but it was full of Brussels sprouts, which she hated.”
    You’ll laugh. “No, that’s wrong!” We’ll be sitting side by side on the sofa, the skinny, overpriced hardcover spread open on our laps.
    I’ll keep reading. “Then Goldilocks tried the mama bear’s bowl of porridge, but it was full of spinach, which she also hated.”
    You’ll put your hand on the page of the book to stop me. “You have to read it the right way!”
    “I’m reading just what it says here,” I’ll say, all innocence.
    “No you’re not. That’s not how the story goes.”
    “Well if you already know how the story goes, why do you need me to read it to you?”
    “Cause I wanna hear it!”

    The result is a contradiction: the Book of Ages must be right, by definition; yet no matter what the Book says she'll do, she can choose to do otherwise. How can these two facts be reconciled?

    "It doesn't matter: you still have to go to bed."

    "But why?"

    "Because I'm the mom and I said so."

    I'm actually going to say that, aren't I? God, somebody please shoot me. I'll pick you up and carry you under my arm to your bed, you wailing piteously all the while, but my sole concern will be my own distress. All those vows made in childhood that I would give reasonable answers when I became a parent, that I would treat my own child as an intelligent, thinking individual, all for naught: I'm going to turn into my mother. I can fight it as much as I want, but there'll be no stopping my slide down that long, dreadful slope.
