Theo and the Magic Eight Ball



My son's curiosity would put George the monkey to shame. Heated questions into the night ... " HOW do you make gunpowder, Mom. Is God as small as germs ? How much insulation is in our house ? What happens if it snows on the World Peace Bell ?". Be sure you brush up on NASA rocket launches before you see him next. And what is your favorite element on the Periodic Table of Elements ?? ( His is nitrogen ).

Somehow he recently borrowed a friend's Magic Eight Ball. He has been asking it questions all day. The most priceless moment was when he put the Magic Eight Ball on the piano while he practiced. He ran thru one of his pieces and proceeded to ask the Eight Ball " Did you like that ? ".

He scooped up the ball and read aloud " definitely not ".

" Well, " I heard him reply with indignation. " I liked it. And I know how to play the piano pretty well !! " . So he performed it again for the Eight Ball and asked again ... this continued for a while with various exchanges between Theo Barr and the Eight Ball. I couldn't make this stuff up.
