Any minute now my mother will knock on the door for the third time in three days. We'll hug and laugh and wave bye-byes, and when I close the door I'll lock both the locks and stand there, looking at the knob, until I see my own reflection and step away.

Steve Burns is capering around silently on the TV. He's wearing a funny pointed hat and seems to be on some kind of adventure. He's talking to a giant purple blob with teeth, on what looks like a forest path surrounded by deadly nightshade. There's a lesson in this, if you look at it right, I'm sure. Now he's inching along the ground like a worm, & has found a golden key, but a flying talking worm is trying to steal it. Well, now I think we all know what the message here is. If you wear a stupid hat, strange things will happen to you.
