“It shocked me when I heard your first words, dumpling,” my
mother told me. “You spoke so well I doubted whether it was you, my
sweet cherry-bakewell Joshikins. Your father came running down the
stairs to hear his baby boy speak for the first time and, oh boy, was
he struck agog, just like I was! It was not one word or two, sugar
plum, they were sentences that rang out clear and true!”
“I’m hungry,” is what I said, and it’s regularly as true now as it was
then. It’s something I feel, more than once, every single day.
