I tease the hair, stick as many sequin barrettes in, and put a tiny bit of my sister's mascara on. Bam! A star is about to be born. There's a knock at the front door. "Yo! Charlie! CNN." They snap my picture. "LA Times. Over here, Charlie!" "People Magazine," someone yells, "Can you tell our readers what it feels like to be a hero" "A hero" I like the sound of that.
