One night when I was working at the Hard Rock Cafe in La Jolla, a "Balloon Man"
came in.
I'm sure you know what I mean ... one of those guys who walks around and blows up those long balloons and turns them into strange hats, or animals, or something.
Well, he was sitting at one of my tables, and during his entire dinner,
he kept creating weird ensembles for the other customers.
At the end of his dinner, he finally got out some tiny balloons, and made me a pair of pink balloon earrings and a ring.
The worst part is that he insisted that I wear them, so I had to put them on right in front of him,
and wear them for the remainder of the time he was there.
I'm sure I looked very silly!
But not quite as silly as Kitty Bear looked wearing them!
(Ah, he looks kinda cute, don't ya think?)
