Helen Truszkowski watched her 6-year-old son, George, grow increasingly attached to his Harry Potter merchandise and the idea of getting his own telephone. So for a dose of reality, shetook him on vacation to a mud hut in Zambia. “A screened-off tin bath took the place of our regular en-suite,” she writes in the Independent. “No electricity, no cutlery, no flushing loo, no telly.
