Warm Lights
The Teletubbies website appears. “Hey! I know them!” I feel my ears against the bouncy, cute, curly pigtails.
Comfortable in my father's lap, I munch on chocolate ice cream.
I start to climb onto the desk. Something was watching us.
He tries to draw my attention back to them. “Look it's... Tinky-Winky!” It is Tinky-Winky and Laa Laa and...
The big circle glass in a square black box blinks.
I can't see.
A head pokes out, a stranger looks at us, upset.
Much later I was told it was a failed Sears photo shoot.
