The Son of Someone Famous
“Hairgo is a waxy substance you apply warm, let dry on your skin, and then rip off in exactly ten minutes. Seven minutes had passed that night when my mother entered my bedroom and said, “Always the clown, hmmm, Brenda Belle?”
What made her say that was the wax mustache I had made from Hairgo. It was colored pink and firmly attached to my upper lip.
I made a face and bowed low, letting her think I was just fooling around. I didn’t want her to know my mustache was a depilatory, for fear she’d go ...into one of her famous panics.

“You’re probably right,” I said, watching the second hand on my alarm clock. I had two minutes to go before it was time to remove the wax.
“I don’t want to criticize you,” my mother continued, “but it is a fact that very few female comediennes have happy lives.”MoreLess
