Worst Pet Ever

That's Weird Grandma TWG Weekly Update

We’re not always happy with what we receive for gifts.

This is especially true in the newest story to the “That’s Weird Grandma” Holiday Special.  Rebka T from Stocknton wrote “The Worst Pet Ever.”  Jason Sperling made it into a song, and we will be performing it TONIGHT in the show.

My first pet ever was a fish.  The worst pet ever is my fish because all it does is swim and eat and go through rocks.  That’s why it’s the worst pet in the whole wide world.  It was so boring because it does nothing at all.  I wanted to have adog, but my parents said no.  It would’ve been fun but it wasn’t.  It was really, really, really, really boring.  That’s why it’s the worstest pet in the world.

Share your idea of the worst pet ever with Kassi at the box office for a discounted ticket!

School Shows

Whoa. My last blog entry was for the last Chalmers show, and I also blogged for the one before that.

This is because I love Chalmers.

The last time I taught there, the children gave me candy and jewelry AND watermelon gum.

Chalmers is the school that gave us “Bad Car,” and “Kung Fu Guys,” “The Dance of Yousail,” “The Servant’s Skills,” and “Me and My Boyfriend Having a Nice Time Until the End.”

Chalmers is the school Jonathan and Eric chose for their Monkey swan song.

Chalmers is where a child asked Mikala, “You need a man?” and where another child said, “Kristie, you was raised by black people, weren’t you?”

We’ve been at Chalmers for most of the past decade. It’s a school where the oldest kids greet us like family because we’ve been there for ten years and taught their older brothers and sisters, who are now in college! When a Monkey says the word, “Chalmers,” she says it with respect.

And that’s why it’s so, so, so cool to be doing a Chalmers show with FIVE newly cast Monkeys. New Monkey Brenda can be seen here getting hazed by Joe. 

New amazing stories will take their place in the Chalmers canon. New things will be said. New memories will be made.

One of these memories will be of an evil cat lady. Yes!
