As you know, this house is so big and with so many people working here, even the staff members have become family.
So the security guys are still with us, even though Dad can’t afford to pay anybody what they were getting before. Glad as I am to have them, the security guys can still be sort of intimidating. Which I guess is the point.
Anyway, Ben is the head man and I think we all know his Achilles’ heel now.
As a former member of Mossad, Ben could probably kill you differently every day of the week. But recently it was his birthday. And the only card my mother could find in the house was a grossly sentimental one.
So she went ahead and presented it to him.
So overcome was Ben by my mother’s kindness and that “sweet leetle bunny” on the card, that he burst into tears and fled to the bathroom.
So you see, I know now that even I could bring Mr. Tough Guy down if I wanted.
I figure one of those big-eyed plushy toys wrapped in Hello Kitty paper would do it.
Yeah. I’ve still got it.
