Bjorn! On the Fourth of July (A Barbara Marr Short Story)
“on the Fourth of July I blame myself. I showed her the poster.
Bjorn! What kind of name is that for a magician, anyway?
See, my youngest daughter Amber was going through a new phase. She'd had her fairy phase, her Disney Princess phase, and her Josie and the Pussycats phase. Now she was going through a Houdini phase. Harriette Houdini to be precise. A character in a series of early readers she'd found in her first grade classroom. Amber had a new obsession – magic. Okay. I could deal with that.... In fact, not all girls want to be magicians, so I actually liked the break from traditional female stereotyped career aspirations. She didn't want to starve herself half to death to be a supermodel – she wanted to be a magician. Pretty cool.
So, I showed her the poster.
I was optimistic and had energy when I showed her the poster.
It was only 78 degrees outside when I showed her the poster.
And, if I had to be entirely, one hundred percent honest... I really thought I could convince Howard to take Amber to see Bjorn!MoreLess
