Andy Surratt Baptist Westfair Kiddie College… his friend said the word “poop”… blamed it on Andy… Andy took the blame… and had to eat some Palmolive soap. Lady who made him do it… Big, tall lady. Here’s an example… “I see! I See! I see a big, tall, teacher! I see smiling little boy… but he is not smiling now! He is at Westfair Kiddie Academy and his best friend has just said the word “poop”! The teacher hears him! The little boy’s friend blames in on him! Now…Now I see a vision of the little boy with soap coming out of his mouth! Palmolive soap! He has taken the blame for saying “poop” and is making plans to shoot his friend! I see …I see….. Andy Surratt!” …….. something like that…. I can help you out with a few “What do you see, Oh great Dorene?” …….. you get the idea.

Syl: The procedure will be something like…. I will introduce you and announce that each student will write their name on a card.. or perhaps I’ll do that at the beginning. Then we’ll somehow switch cards and you will look at a name…. announce it… and go into your seance routine.. you know.. “I see! I see!”… etc.. “a young boy who was once…..” Or perhaps it might work better to look at the name and don’t give it… then go into you “I see!” stuff…tell the story … thereby letting the students be wondering who you’re talking about… then announce the name at the end… Yea… I like that better. If you actually know the student, feel free to move near them, feel their head or whatever. It’s a fun group and they will buy into it quickly I owe you… but I always have.. … sort of like it that way.
