How To Make A Little Girl Cry



I was covering a Family Fun Carvinal hosted by the Indiana Free Library when I decided to sit-in during storytelling. The man was telling a group of children the fable about a lion that was eating his food by a river and saw another lion eating. The greedy lion wanted the other lion's food so he attacked the other lion! The "other" lion was his own reflection, so when he attacked the lion, he drowned. The storyteller kept shouting "HE DROWNED!! THE LION DROWNED IN THE RIVER!!" to the point that it deeply upset the little girl and she completely lost it. Lesson learned!

  2. [flashback to George Sr. driving a younger Michael, Gob, and Buster]
    George Sr.: We're out of milk. I could have got it earlier if someone would have left a note.
    [suddenly he runs down J. Walter Weatherman and his fake arm comes off]
    George Sr.: [poorly acting] Why? If someone had left a note, this innocent man would still have his arm. Why?
    [the kids scream as Weatherman comes up to them]
    J. Walter Weatherman: And that's why you always leave a note.
