Watched Oprah today and was quite impressed with her guest that appeared. Aside from Jay Leno, they were all kids, small but talented kids.
Kids who aspire to be stand-up comedians. Even though their jokes were simple, it's the delivery that made it hilarious.
Then there was this child prodigy (I hate the word) who was a meastro on the piano at the age of 6. Like the audience on the set, I was impressed by him. And he told musical jokes too...
What happened when you throw a piano down a mineshaft?
(A-flat minor [miner])
What happened when you throw a piano at a military base?
(A-flat major)
And then there was Abby who could recite speeches from US figures and is interested in American history though I'm not sure if she understood everything she reads. With no pauses to ponder, she breezes through excerpts from 2 speeches.
Then there was this young boy who could rival with a paleontologist regarding facts on dinosaurs. He even attempted to spell a dinosaur name that was long enough to fill the TV screen. Not to mention he immitated the roar of a velociraptor. He's one funny kid.
Following up was a set of identical quadruplet and an Ethiopian girl that got her right arm and leg amputated due to a train accident. A heartwarming story from her.
It goes to show how innocent kids are. It's in their childhood that they learn about life, learn so that they can grow into a good person. Isn't that what parents want their child to be? They can amaze us with their talents, wow us with their talk and touch us with their story.
And them being so young, it's an amazing gift really; to touch someone else's life.
