Abstract

All kids (or at least all two-braided children with a penchant for eating twigs) at some point really really really really want something terrible to happen-preferably something like surviving a tornado. You imagine scenes of total chaos with sad concertos playing in the background and you watch windows disintegrate and roof tiles fly around you until you look down and realize that your leg has too many angles and a rib is poking out of your skin. You imagine being rushed on a stretcher to a hospital where faces wearing horror and pity swarm around you like a kaleidoscope. Nothing like that has ever happened to me.
