Not Jimmy. I googled "boy with stick" |
His teacher responded, "Shouldn't that make him Rangry?"
He laughed, "Rangry? That's not even a word, Mr. Y!"
One day Mr. Y had recess duty and as always, Jimmy trailed him around the playground like a childlike, sloppy Ryan Seacrest - only slightly taller. This time, Jimmy had found something. Something fantastic.
"MR. Y! MR Y! I FOUND A MAGIC SCHTICK. A MAGIC SCTICK!"
Jimmy had a slight speech impediment.
"A magic stick, eh?", Mr. Y replied. "I haven't seen one of those in ages."
Jimmy could hardly contain his excitement. "I know, Mr. Y! And it was just lying over there under that twee!"
"That is quite a coincidence, Jimmy because that is where you were just a few seconds ago."
"I know. Wanna see what it can do?" asked Jimmy, waving his the stick around like a conductor trying to conduct his orchestra to an ACDC tune.
Mr. Y was intrigued. "Yeah, let's see what that bad boy can do."
Jimmy held the stick high above his head and spoke loudly for the gathering audience of peers to hear. "SEE THAT CLOUD OVER THERE? I WILL MAKE IT DISAPPEAR."
The 7-year-old audience gasped in disbelief.
"BIBBIDY BOBBIDY BOO!" Jimmy squealed as he pointed the stick at the lone cloud on the horizon.
Mr. Y stared at the the mid morning sky and chuckled. "Uh, Jimmy. I think your stick is broken. That cloud is still there."
"Oh, did I shay THAT cloud, Mishter Y? I meant that cloud over there."
The audience turned to the spot in the sky that led from Jimmy's pointed finger.
"There's nothing over there, Jimmy. There's not a cloud in site." Mr. Y was stated disappointingly.
"YEAH, MISHTER Y! That's because I made it disappear!"
Mr. Y was not amused. "Jimmy, there wasn't a cloud over there to begin with."
"Well, there were clouds there yesterday. A MAGIC SHTICK! IT REALLY WORKS. A MAGIC STICK!!!"
Ah, Jimmy.
Tomorrow: Jimmy and the Magic Stick - A True Story, Part II: Jimmy's Shoe. Episode 2: Magic Beyond the Clouds and in Rainbows.
Never doubt a boy with his magic shtick.

ReplyDeleteDo you think that Jimmy could use his magic stick to make Kevin Eubank's stupid white coat disappear?
ReplyDeleteYou have sticks near your playground? All we have is mulch, lots and lots of mulch.
ReplyDeleteNow if he made a student disappear, that would be amazing!
Boys and their magic sticks....what else really needs to be said????
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't ever get him a stick…he'd probably poke his eye out...
ReplyDeleteI think maybe I have dated a grown Jimmy and his magic shtick!
ReplyDeleteRangery.
I have to say who caring a sweet the teacher is - clearly Jimmy followed you for a reason.
I used to watch a show that had a Jimmy with a magic flute...
ReplyDeleteRanger, his folks have their handy full
ReplyDeleteI could really use one of those sticks to make the vomit disappear when Olive loses it in my bed. It would really be handy compared to doing laundry.
ReplyDeletesounds like Jimmy is one step ahead of Mr. Y.
ReplyDeleteThe magic stick always works.
ReplyDeleteAnd now, Jimmy carries a light saber!!
ReplyDeleteAt any point does this magic schtick end up in someone's rear?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story! I can't wait to read Part II. Thanks for the chuckle today!
ReplyDeleteOkay....looking forward to episode 2.
ReplyDeleteHas an orchestra ever played ACDC?
ReplyDeleteThis kid went on to become a marketing exec right?
BTW - did you know the stick is in the toy hall of fame?
"childlike, sloppy Ryan Seacrest" -This comparison is pure blog gold! xo
ReplyDeleteI like the kid's style. Shtick and all.
ReplyDeleteIt is just a very slow working stick I guess... takes a whole day to make things disappear.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Jimmy needs some thpeech therapy and his dog needs some anger management. Can't wait for Part 2!
ReplyDelete"rangry" lol!
ReplyDeletehappy thanksgiving!
~ash's mum
My son has a magic stick, and thats all I'm going to say about that...
ReplyDeleteWell Jimmy sounds like a real kick in the pants!
ReplyDeleteif Jimmy could get he Rangry dog to bring the shtick back after he tosses it, that may be the best trick of all. if he needs more, I have plenty he can pick up, anytime....
ReplyDeleteI don't know, his argument is very sound...
ReplyDeleteSounds like the same "shtick" I used to always find quarters in my kids and grandkids ears...
ReplyDeletegood story so far!
Awww - that's precious! And I LOVE rangry :)
ReplyDeleteoxoxo
