02/16/2004: "The morality of the mundane."
I was making two bowls of instant noodles the other day. One was for my father, the other for me. They were of different brands and flavours, but my father didn't care about either.
Emptying the packets, I saw one contained a big block of thick noodles; the other was smaller wth thin ones. I wasn't sure who should get the bigger serving. A 29p packet of noodles had forced me into a quandary - a North London morality play writ small.
I knew what I should do. I also knew what I wanted. Choosing between them took an uncomfortably long time.
