Richard Russo Quotes

Tick's Strategy For Dealing With Lying Adults Is To Say Nothing And Watch Thee Lies Swell And Constrict In Their Throats. When This Happens, The Lie Takes On A Physical Life Of Its Own And Must Be Either Expelled Or Swallowed. Most Adults Prefer To Expel Untruths With Little Burplike Coughs Behind Their Hands, While Others Chuckle Or Snort Or Make Barking Sounds. When Mr. Meyer's Adam's Apple Bobs Once, Tick Sees That He's A Swallower, And That This Particular Lie Has Gone South Down His Esophagus And Into His Stomach. According To Her Father, The Man Suffers From Bleeding Ulcers. Tick Can See Why. She Imagines All The Lies A Man In His Position Would Have To Tell, How They Must Just Churn Away Down There In His Intestines Like Chunks Of Indigestible Food Awaiting Elimination. By The Tick Suspects, Lies Seek Open Air. They Don't Like Being Confined In Dark, Cramped Places.
