Bjorn! On The Fourth Of July (A Barbara Marr Short Story) - Plot & Excerpts
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!
