I is a Good Teacher!

Ok, so I was playing with some kids at work yesterday and one of them had 10 cents. Being the show pony that I am I started to do magic tricks for them; pulling the coin from behind their ears, eating it then pulling it out of my tummy etc. The kids loved it and thought I was fantastic.

This morning when I come to work my co-worker tells me that one of the kids just about choked last night after I went home. “Really” I said “What happened?”. “That’s the strange thing, for some reason he was trying to eat some money. He’s old enough to know not to do that.” she said. Oh crap!

Things like this happen I guess, you’ve just got to learn from them. I learnt not to demonstrate to children how to eat small wind pipe blocking objects. So today I am on my best behaviour. I really don’t want a dead kid on my conscious.
