Basically, in the India she knows, one can scream "Help" and the entire neighborhood is at your side within minutes. Americans tend to wait to rush to help, and those of us who might need help hesitate to scream. Why is that? I don't know if it's that we don't want to bother anyone or if it's a side effect of our modernity. I'm terrible about asking. I love being self sufficient, and any request I make immediately reveals my vulnerability.

I am bathe helper extraordinaire but asking for help in any part if my life, especially where Zoey is concerned, is something I never do. <br /><br />I think I should consider changing that.
