Glass Ceilings (2016)
“My mom had tried to talk me out of it when the only size left in the costume shop was two sizes too big. I didn’t care and insisted on that damn costume. Mom relented, and ended up getting her money’s worth.
At age seven, I finally retired it due to wear and tear, but by then, I decided to give myself a promotion. Kid-size aviators and a fake FBI badge became my new obsession. Once again, I wore them all the time and not just for Halloween.
My obsession with law enforcement came from my dad. At... the time, I had no idea what he did or where he did it, but watching him come home every day with his badge, gun, and the unmistakable sense of pride he wore on his face was enough for a four-year-old to take notice.
If a brownie went missing from the batch my mom had just baked, I interrogated my sister and father until they cracked. If a pet went missing in the neighborhood, I dragged my best friend door-to-door checking for witnesses.
So, yeah…I guess I always knew what I was going to be when I grew up.MoreLess
