CREATIVE CHILDREN

 

You realized your child was destined for fame on America’s Got Talent when he spouted off all of the side-effects for Ozempic when in the doctor’s office at two years of age. By four you had taught him the entire Greek alphabet. He learned “The Night Before Christmas” on his own simply by hearing it read so many times. Now he repeats all of his favorite books with character voices.

He's ready to go on stage. At least out-of-town grandparents are anxious to see him perform. What’s a proud parent to do?

Magic tricks? Might be an option except that he would need a sibling side-kick and that hasn’t happened yet.

Stand-up comedy? Perhaps, except that he still laughs at his own jokes.

Mime? Staying quiet for that long would strain credulity.

Animal trainer? Frogs are hard to control.

Ventriloquism? Whose going to be the dummy?

How about a monologue? Purchase a copy of “Bible Kids Speak Up.” Choose something from children of Egypt, children of Kings, children of Bethlehem, children of Jerusalem, or children of Acts. Get out the video camera or your phone. Film him in living color and send it to those out-of-town grandparents. You will be their favorite child.
