You can begin at home. Talk to the things in the kitchen, especially the spiteful ones, like the tin-opener and the carving knife. Let them know you know. Make peace with them. Give them extras things to do do that they don t have time to brood.
Spoons like to be played occasionally.
Toggles chewed - ask any child. That door knob that catches your pocket when you pass and rips it open, it s only asking to be noticed. Fondle it now and again. Domestic harmony isn t just confined to people. You may think I m suffering paranoid delusions, but I m used to being got at.
