Tizzy: Before I was a child, I was a dad. I had six girls and six boys. I named the girls “girl” and the boys “boy.” When they grew up to be grown ups, I named them all Sam. When I called them in for lunch, I’d say, “Sa-aa-m,” and they’d all come running. First my boy Sam jumped over my head and onto the lunch bench. Then my girl Sam ran between my legs and onto the lunch bench. Then my other boy Sam swung around my side and onto the lunch bench. Welp, that’s how it goes. Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam...

Makes perfect sense to me! (We once had a cat called 'cat'...)
Love it!
I LOVE when Jake tells stories about when he used to be a grown up.
I'm sorta hippie dippie, so I listen to them closely so I can learn all about his other lives.
I love your stories...crack me up! Outta the mouthes of babes!
My oldest had two VERY detailed imaginary friends and it was the details that were hilarious!
Love the detailed Sam story :o)
Oh Sam I am, Oh Sam I Am, how i love thee Sam I am.
Ok, wow. That kid has quite an imagination but I believed every word of it.
hil-freakin-larious....I hope you wrote that down...oh, wait, you did! :)
thats great.
I don't know about you, but I absolutelypositively believe him. There are too many details in there. Lunch bench? You really can't make that stuff up!
I swear, this is better than any poetry I've ever written. A simplicity here and wit that I love.
Tizzy's past life must have been very strange! ;)
Wonderful! I love it! Reminds me of the Dr. Seuss story about the woman who had 24 sons and named them all, Dave. HIlarious!
:^)
