""You start with the clay them mold it to it's final form"""
Pretty hard to do when the clay is already 24 years old,,should start a long time before that, and due to the fact that she was sent away at 16 years of age for 'misbehaving" might give some insights into her mental makeup. Now she seems to think that the world should only do as she wishes, not the other way around..

I meant the clay to represent the new born child in much the same way as clay is the starting point for the making of the pot. Depending on the type and make-up of the clay, a number of outside factors are then applied to mold the final product. Those factors include shaping, painting, glazing and firing resulting in many different types of end product such as utilitarian pottery, fine china, folk art, and damaged.

If the product is damaged it then takes a great amount of effort to make damage whole.

Sorry I didn't make myself clearer in the original post.
