An Ode to Gối Ôm, Our Time-Honored Sleeping Companion
There’s a scene in The Sound of Music , where Julie Andrews gazes into the future on a stormy night and envisions something holy: play clothes. She wraps herself in her bedroom curtains, a stuffy cream and sage brocade. Play clothes, she seems to resolve, that’s what the Von Trapp children need, their austere father just having interrupted their song and dance.
