Let's hear some funny stories or weird things that have happened when performing for children.

- I have a hard time remembering names and somewhat of a short term memory loss I suppose.. I had a school show today with about 120 kids at each show. There have been many times where I would bring up a helper and 15 minutes later call on the same helper to come up without even realizing that I picked the kid before. It's embarrassing and I have to play it off.

- Of course I always love when kids say or do the most unexpected things that can be used in your show in the future.. These are the best. I love playing off the little sayings. A lot of times I ask how old a kid is and they say "I am good" I get this a lot.

I will share more stories later as I have to run off to a birthday party soon.

During one performance where I had the children snoring, one 4 year old jumps and said"mommy doesn't sleep with daddy anymore because he snores too loud."
The laughfs by the parents tells the story--his mother was red in the face.

I'm waiting in the li8ving room for the father to call the children to come in there for the show, and I hear him say "And now, in the living room, free spankings for everybody!"

I used that line for at least 10 years from that day on.

From another thread several years ago, this is the funniest thing I have EVER read on The Magic Café...
