One of Jack and Pearl's "young ones." We learned from Michael this season that Jack and the community of Jack-a Lopes do not name their young until 10 years of age, so this young 4 year old still remains nameless. |
The kids were invited down front |

| Was that a woopie cushion or did we all just hear what I thing we heard? |
OK we did hear what we thought we heard and now it becomes more serious to Michael because we all have to smell it now. This is Michael scolding someone

We were fortunate all season long to have full audiences; Thank you Wichita, Derby, Hesston and the other nearby cities!!!
