The piggy bank part reminded me of my grandma. When my grandma was 4 years old, her father left her and her mother for another woman, and took my grandma's piggy bank with him. You can't get much lower than that. As soon as I heard about the money Jeannette and her siblings were collecting, I wondered where they were going to hide the piggy bank. Obviously they didn't, and it didn't surprise me in the least that their father took it. ...less

There is no other story. A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean questions: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well—or ill?"
