Camille Qurban

I couldn't break the fourth wall, man, but...

I didn't know how I could get through it.

And I just decided I was going to have to give the most convincing fairy performance of my life.

I don't know, like Academy Award fairying.

She sat down with the little girls in the circle.

And when I sang the songs at party, I sang like an angel.

And I'm tone deaf.

When I told her the stories, I put on all the voices.

When I painted their faces, I put in extra detail.

I covered them in glitter.

I gave out all the marshmallows.

I wanted to convince her.

And by the end of the party, she was smiling and laughing and lapping it all up.

And I was like, I've got these kids eating fairy bread out of the palm of my hand.

I hugged them all and gave them little hugs at the end and said goodbye and everything.

And she muscled in.

And she gave me a hug.

She put her arms around my neck.

And then with a little sticky marshmallow mouth, she whispered in my ear, Bye, Camille.

When she pulled back from the hug, she eyeballed me.
