All But Alice
““Lester is the most unlikely person I can think of to become a priest,” Crystal had said, and decided to send him a trial balloon, of sorts, to test him out. But the day the balloons were delivered, we didn’t know any of that.
“I can’t believe this,” Lester was saying after the door closed on the deliveryman. “This cannot be happening.” He thrust the balloons at Dad. “Here. They’re yours,” he bleated.
Dad backed away. “No, you don’t, Les. You’ve got to deal with this somehow.”
“Al?”... Lester said, offering them to me.
“No way,” I told him.
Lester let go of the balloons, and they shot up to the ceiling and bobbed about in one corner of the hallway.
They were still there when I went to school the next morning, dressed in blue jeans, red socks, a white turtleneck, and an old red shirt of Carol’s that came down below my knees.MoreLess
