You already know where it lags and it sounds like those wheels (I can hear them from here) are turning on how to adjust and what you need to smooth out the rough spots. That's Great!! Start thinking like a good skit-Beginning - Middle- End (a kicker something to leave them smiling and wanting to have you back) . Try making one last "special thing for the birthday child" and announce it is your finale. Or you might make one of Mike's balls and start them in a game of -Keep it in the Air (as you sneak out to do your business with the parent). I use the Elephant line or whatever animal I think of- "I have to go. It's my turn to feed the elephants! They get really grumpy when their dinner is late!! "(If they are older 10 or 12 and they persist in trying to make you stay) try- " The last clown that was late is now called lefty(pull your sleeve over your right hand)" BTW- If you add an uninflated 260 to Mike's ball you can play with it as a punch ball. This also opens up some ideas for silly clown skits (the ball that won't go away or selling the ball and then snatching it back............) Sorry I can't resist throwing in the clown stuff once in awhile!<:o) } Bump a Nose, Popsicle aka Kathy
