I was at Borders the other day to get a 16 oz. hot chai, because I love Borders’ hot chai, and I notice that the barista is wearing a nametag that says Pixie. Out of curiosity, I ask, “Is your name really Pixie?”
“In here it is.”
“Hmm.”
“Actually that’s not the full name. The full title is ‘Queen of the Pixies’.”
She hands me my change and heads over to prepare my chai. I walk along as well, on the other side of the counter. As she’s working I ask, “Does anybody ever ask you ‘Who died and made you Queen?’”
“No. Although I don’t know if Pixies really die. Maybe when you stop believing in them”
