When Nicky and I were little, if she got a hundred dollars for her birthday, I used to set up a little store in my room and invite her to come shopping. “This plush designer teddy bear is so full of love,” I said. “It’s like hugging a magic cloud. A love cloud. I should keep him because he makes me so happy. But I want you to be happy. So, I guess I could part with him for a hundred dollars.”
