Okay, I can't resist telling a story about my son today.

Last weekend, my family headed out to the Westport Art Fair on an absolutely beautiful Saturday afternoon. We enjoyed the artists' work, some good food and just a nice, relaxing day. We thought we were heading home after dinner, but the most interesting part of the day was just beginning.

On the way back to our car, we came across some live entertainment, two dueling piano players playing some fun music and interacting with the crowd. While Barb and I watched (and yes, sang along at times), our 5-year-old, Jack, headed down to an open area in front of the stage. At first there were some other kids there, but soon Jack was the only one left. Then he started to dance.

For at least half an hour, Jack danced to the music, at times just bobbing his head, sometimes breaking into a full jig. Eventually, the guys on stage took notice. They asked Jack's name and asked everyone to give him a round of applause. All of this was very nice and humorous, but it was what happened next that no one expected...

A woman walked up to Jack as he continued to dance and gave him money. Soon, more and more people walked up and pushed dollar bills into Jack's little hands. He was standing there with wads of money in his hands and looking at us like 'What's this all about?' He got so much money, he ran over to us and handed over the cash, saying he couldn't fit it all into the pockets of his shorts. I've never seen anything like it in my life.

Of course, Jack was eating this up. We had people coming up to us and asking if we were Jack's parents. Suddenly, we were the mother and father of a star. When we finally pulled him away from the show, he exclaimed that this was one of the best days of his life. He also noted that when he had woken up that morning, he never would have dreamed he'd get all this money. I wouldn't have either.

Jack ended up with $14, which to him is a fortune. My sister-in-law noted after hearing the story that it could be a turning point in his young life. Perhaps show business is in his future. Well now we're all planning to go to Vegas next week. I think his act will go over well on the Strip. Of course, I'm taking a cut for being his manager.
