A mum told me that her little girl had been counting down the days till she would see me again (having seen my show a few months earlier and knowing I was to appear at her nursery very soon): “How many more sleeps till I see Jilly JamJar?” |

At a fancy dress birthday party, the younger brother of the birthday child, aged 3, went off to change into his costume. He re-appeared in high heels, as Alice In Wonderland, but I didn’t recognise him at first! When I suddenly realised it was him I asked: “Callaghan, what ARE you?" With a look that said "Isn’t it obvious?" he looked up at me and said slowly and loudly: “I’m a GIRL!!!” then minced off. One of the funniest little boys I ever did meet! |

Jilly JamJar to little boy of 3: “Did you enjoy your party?” Little boy: “Actually, I’d rather have been sent for several weeks to Outer Mongolia without food, water or communication with my family, friends and pet snake Roger The Horrible.” (OK – this one isn’t true!!) |
|
Lots of children, as they arrive and see me larking about, like to shout at me giggling: “You’re sillllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!”To which I always say “Of COURSE I am. I’m Silly Jilly!!!” .... which keeps the giggling going nicely! |
| Little boy of 4, clinging to my leg as I left his party to go home: “I’ll mith you when you’re gone.” (HOW sweet?!) |
