cube into whatever article
of clothing the boy was
wearing at the time. That
boy never went to bed with
pajamas on until his older
brother was out of the ice
cube phase. Since my old
est doesn’t live with us any
longer, their brotherly rela
tionship is carried out over
the internet through online
games. Sometimes I think
this is a strange way to keep
in touch, but truthfully they
talk to each other that way
more often than I can reach
either of them by phone.
My ten-year old has a very
special bond with my eigh
teen-year old. The only time
they see each other now is
on college breaks so they
use that time to strengthen
their bond by using head
less, naked Barbie dolls.
These dolls have been
multiplying in our house,
I swear. We have no Ken
dolls, so I’m not sure how
this is happening. There is,
however, a neighbor boy who
comes to play at our house
from time to time. This boy
is an only child and I believe
he doesn’t quite know what
to make of my daughter’s
room full of dolls, stuffed
animals, and pastel colored
ponies. So whenever he
comes to visit, he manages
to undress every doll he can
get his hands on. He decapi
tates them, and hides their
heads. Yeah, he’s got issues.
But this is how we have
come to possess a surplus
of naked, headless Barbie
doils.
Each time my college-aged
boy comes back on break,
there is always a chorus line
of headless naked dolls lov
ingly lined up on his book
shelf by his younger sib
ling as a welcome joke. Of
course, when he sees them,

he immediately tries to find
a way to retaliate. Once, he
propped his brother’s mat
tress up against a wall, verti
cally, and although that was
easy for my 6’ 5” son, the
ten-year old couldn’t figure
out how to get it back down
again without it landing on
him. He needed to enlist his
dad’s help.
Hours later, the bare
naked, brainless, Barbies
showed up on top of his
older brother’s computer
monitor. In the morning,
they were duct taped to the
younger one’s ceiling.
One night, I saw the older
one stomping down the hall
way with a fistful of nude
Barbies. He looked like a
petulant bridesmaid walk
ing down the aisle in his
boxer shorts carrying a hid
eous bouquet. He stopped in
front of the younger one’s
room while he was sleeping.
You could see him calculat
ing just how much trouble
he’d get into if he was to
wake the boy up using one
of several devious, meant
to-make-him-scream meth
ods. I aggressively discour
aged that idea, so he merely
placed the headless dolls
into bed with the sleeping
jokester.
One day, I know, some
one with no sense of humor
will show up at our door
and spy a half-dozen head
less, naked Barbies flying
around merrily in macabre
joy while hanging from our
ceiling fan. Hopefully, this
will not be the kind of per
son for whom first impres
sions mean a lot.
