WHAT CHILDREN SAY TO (AND ABOUT)
JILLY JAMJAR

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?!)
