The puppet has a safety pin through its head.
It’s my only piercing, I sometimes say.
Kids look at me astonished when I tell them that.

One kid asked her mother wether that could be possible.
I proved it by taking the pin between my fingers to move it a little bit.
My face looked like I was suffering from pain.

That was quite an effort. I never did any acting classes.

But the girl believed me.
Ouch, it’s real, she said to her mother & moved her head away.
