| For me? |
The other morning, my brother John stops by and makes me a princess crown out of balloons, mainly because I tell him he has to, or I'll cry. He's always making princess crowns for other little girls. It's my turn now. I ask why he makes balloon crowns. "I'm a professional balloon artist. It's what I do." I should mention this is not a skill that runs in the family. I can't even blow up a balloon.
If you'd like to see my brother in action, in the coming months, he plays Wacky Balloon Guy on two shows: "Men of a Certain Age" and "Friends With Benefits." It's true, he's been working his balloon magic for many years now. And yet, I wonder why it's taken him so freakin' long to make me, his favorite sister, a balloon crown, princess edition. "You wanted one for free," he says. "How much is this going to cost me?" "Union rates." I grab my checkbook. Some things are worth paying for. Like princess crowns.
