Pickle -

Are you crazy, or what?

As anybody can see, the word 'the' appears twice in the title.  This
is not accidental.  Nor is it Occidental.  Kate, being into all kinds
of religions and philosophies, is here expressing the Eastern thought.
Man and Child are opposites -- Yin and Yang and all that...

I'm surprised you didn't get that one.
