This document discusses how corners can sometimes trigger asthma in children and provides an example of how a mother's avoidance of directly answering her daughter's question of whether she loves her leads the daughter to have an asthma attack. The mother's philosophical response about the meaning of love instead of a direct answer frustrates the daughter, causing her breathing to become labored. The mother then apologizes as the "asthma game" ensues.
