Hello again m'frends... Eye wuz jest lookin true sum E-males dat I rote two sum frends resently...an tot I'd share diss liddle Tot-story witcha...

Iffen ya aint no-in how two due tit...lemme no an I'll share dat won witcha two. Heerz wot happind... ---- It was on one of these latter occassions...had my grandson with me at the Mall one day. We arrived early...sitting in a chair waiting for the advertised magic show to start (I met the young couple backstage after the show)...[THIS is another big moneymaking venue to consider...doing Mall Shows...but that's another long subject for another time]. I pulled a balloon out of my bulging-full shirt pocket...(kinda made me look like some kinda one-tited freak...hah)...and inflated it...making a Balloon HAT for my grandson (psychology at work here. Didn't take long for a few kids...then a swarm of them to gather around with..."will you make one for me mister?" One cute little girl (I'll NEVER forget her!...as you'll soon understand WHY...hah)...sat next to me.... thought I'd have some fun... pulled out one of me "prepared exploding balloons"... started inflating it... When it exploded...I turned my head and looked at her...saying..."I saw that" (hah). She innocently pleaded..,."I didn't do it mister...honest!" "Okay...but I'm going to keep my eye on you", I smiled. I made her and her girlfriend their animals...thanked me...then moved to the row of chairs in front of me. She sat directly in front of me...chatting away as I continued entertaining the kids. As happens at times...a balloon exploded unexpectedly. This cute young tike turned around in her char quickly...and said... "See?...I didn't do it THAT time mister...my back was turned". I bust out laughing and reassured her that I knew that she didn't...and that she also "didn't break the other one either...I was just funning with you". This brings up an important message...entertainers must be very careful what they say to kids... even in a joking manner...as they take everything seriously with their level of understanding. I knew that she was the ideal playmate in our little game...and was going to present her with another balloon for her Mom...which I did... with the understanding like I just mentioned...that she didn't break that Special One for Mom...it was just playing a game with her. She laffed as I handed it to her...our personal little game-time was over...but an everlasting memorial one for me. ---- It wood bee intrestin two heer sum uv urine storries two...sew...iffen ya gotz enny two share wit us...lettum fly.
