Dear Deb,

Your description of the macho teen is reminiscent of the time I
accidentally wolfed down a big blob of wasabi in a very dimly-lit
restaurant in Yokosuka, Japan. I wish you had been there to administer
banana-to-mouth, but, after a moment or two, I eventually caught my
breath and carried on with the rest of the meal. Like your "boy," I
learned to respect wasabi!
