a very hungry Xavier was walking to the kosher marketplace....

his mother had sent him there to buy a brisket for dinner.....
they so enjoyed the quality of the JEWISH MEAT.......

and along the way,
 he ran SMACK into
 MR COHEN !!!!
he could not believe his good fortune !!
for Mr Cohen possessed the KEYS TO THE KINGDOM !!

he had with him,
as per usual,
a HUGE pack of red and white BROWNIES.....
baked under CAREFUL, RABBINICAL SUPERVISION !!

with MAGICAL PROPERTIES to boot !

and enough FROSTING to feed an army ......
frosting made of CHOCOLATE
and 18 karat gold
 and organic cream and
'other secret ingredients'!
(there were actually elements of 'FANTASY' and 'PERPETUAL YOUTH'
baked directly into the batter !!)

and Mr Cohen had generously taken out two of his most FABULOUS BROWNIES, and given them to the lad.......

so the two of them....
the old, Jewish man and the young, Peruvian boy,
set off together toward the marketplace....
with Xavier feeling FAR BETTER than he had before....

for his tummy was now filled with scrumptious brownies,
 and his mind bustled with 'psychodelic imagery'.......

he had heard his parents whispering one night about
MR Cohen's BROWNIES.....

they were ALL THE RAGE at the Chanukah parties....:}}

"when i grow up", Xavier thought,
"i want to be EXACTLY LIKE MR COHEN !"

"and bake the KOSHER brownies
that make
 ALL THE MOMMIES AND DADDIES
LAUGH AND TICKLE EACH OTHER
 AND SAY VERY, VERY SILLY THINGS !!"

I LOVE MR COHEN !!!!!!!!

IS IT ALL RELATIVE ?

What makes a traumatic situation real and not somehow sensationalized or exaggerated ? What constitutes real trauma ? Is it all relative ? I...
