prosperity would not be so welcome.”

A Game of Would You Rather,
No Onions Required
Wisdom When
You Want It
I vowed to turn off the
news tonight. Agitated,
I picked up a magazine
that came in the mail
today and flipped to a
random page. I saw a
recipe for cheesecake,
then turned the page
to read: “17 Reasons
for Optimism.” I wept.
Thank you for the
encouragement tonight.
I really needed it.

rather eat the same
food for the rest of your life or
listen to the same song? This
was the topic of a favorite conversation game
playing out in my backseat by a group of
teenagers, two of whom were mine.
My daughter Olivia, missing zero beats:
“Music is the answer for everything. I’d eat
onions for the rest of my life for music.”
Wanna do 15 years old again? Didn’t think
so. The trudge up the mountain of 10th grade
is difficult enough. Imagine navigating love,
friends, hair, and physics with the gale-force
winds of 2020 blowing at you. What a par-
enting experience, watching adolescence
from such an intimate vantage point. I ache
to help, to carry half their burdens, my own
back be damned. Yet I know the best thing

I can do as life gets heavier year by year is
just trot alongside them, shouting suggestions
into the wind.
Of course, today’s teens have a much
better-stocked emotional toolbox than we
ever did, though they may fumble around
inside it. Olivia once said, “No matter what
you’re feeling, music can make it better.” (I
ran to my office and wrote that down in my
“from the mouths of babes” book.) I think
we all remember the songs that channeled
our every coming-of-age demon, dream,
and desire. Olivia also writes in a journal,
bought a crystal, meditates. I’m fascinated—
inspired, really—by her efforts to lighten the
heaviness of life.
Her more practical mother gets her
emotional exhales from walking out of a
just-spot-cleaned kitchen, sitting after a
morning walk, petting Milo. I think 2021
may call for the big guns of satisfaction, like
a good pantry clean-out (page 32) or closet
declutter. Bonus points if I actually sell some
of the stuff I’m getting rid of (page 92).
This year, if I run out of tricks, I’m going
to put on “Purple Rain” and simply ask
myself: Would you rather be 15 again?
