Observing children grow up can be quite tedious. Most of the time, nothing unexpected happens... well-charted developmental milestones are hit in physique, psyche, immunity, economy, etc. and things go pretty much as they are supposed to.

For example, you may discover that the organism fears social castigation only after its first encounter with the same, and so the organism reacts by becoming a mute. That's literally what happened to a brand I have been managing... yes, brands are indeed a variety of people. I was just reminded of this today, as I told the story to some old friends from school.

'Write anything, the contents will be confidential, but you have to write something every day, or you will be punished.' Well then ma'am, I thought, if it's words you want, let me have at ye...
