Dilemmas - 12 November 1993

One of my most vivid memories of being punished is, it was Christmas. Everyone was decorating the tree and I was in my room, and that was more — that sticks with me to this day. I can't remember what it was for but I remember that I was just a good little girl after that.

...you just pick up the phone and ring 'em up and you say "do you realise what you've just done to us?" and make them feel guilty. Don't say anything nasty.

– Philip Alpers, on how to deal with the sounds of chainsaw early in the morning
