Hate to break this to ya, Dan, but to get Miss (insert name of local Romper Room hostess HERE) to see you in her magic mirror, you had to send her money. The actual job paid peanuts. The only way to turn it into a gig that paid a living wage was bribery. You didn't get wished a happy birthday? Blame it on your mom. She's the one who didn't mail in a birthday request with a $20.00 bill in it.
