...perhaps this anecdote is just a crutch for my own insecurities. See, in truth, I don’t really know anything about professional sports. Currently, my favorite athlete is Wiggler, the giant female worm in “Mario Tennis” that, upon winning a match, will squeal and giggle (the cross-species equivalent of a chest bump) and then turn into a flower.

The quake has left thousands of orphans vulnerable to being preyed upon by child traffickers and those who perpetuate Haiti's shameful tradition of keeping child slaves, known as restaveks. Restavek in Creole means "to stay with," an innocuous term for a far more sinister practice: children "stay with" more affluent families as slaves, and like most slaves, they're usually subject to physical, emotional and sexual abuse...
