The First Witch of Boston

by Andrea Catalano

“It is best not to lie. For every lie you tell you shall have to tell three more to cover for it, and three for each of those, and soon enough you’ll be trapped in your own web of lies times three.”

Men are governed by their whims and passions far more than us women, yet they ascribe such traits to us. It is the purest form of hypocrisy there is. It has existed since the dawn of our time. Think of Adam and Eve. Oh aye, the Devil tempted Eve with knowledge, and she thought to better herself. And so she took the bait, and then Adam grew curious and envious and wanted a piece of it all. Just like a selfish child. But go ahead and tell me again how man is governed by his mind and woman by her heart. They have lied to us from the beginning.
