Pizza is a wonderful thing, but it has become terrifying in our house because of the way the pies are cut in the Hartford suburbs.

The pizza parlor, instead of cutting the large pie into long, tapering triangles, creates trapezoidal pieces with crusts along the perimeter and then, in the middle of the circle, a cluster of pieces that have no crusts. I have come to think of those as “filets,” although at the time of our troubles, I am incapable of irony about pizza, incapable, really, of any attitude save gnawing fear.

My mother takes the position that

the filets are intensely desirable, and that

the way to preserve order is to create a social compact that states that only when all the outer pieces have been consumed can one then move on to the filets.
