My friend has her hilarious son do a "Troy says" segment every week. This child is seriously funny. One time he asked me what happened to my eyebrows (I have very light eyebrows and so you don't see them if I don't have brow liner on and one day I saw him I did..the next I didn't, the child was truly perplexed). I think I told him I was playing with fire...or something teachable and most likely traumatized him for life. I do that, you know. ;)
You can read his segments here. Funny Troy. We miss him.
So, I'm going to try this. My kids are thinkers so I'm not sure this will work but I'm going to try anyway. If it turns out good I'll proly make it a mid-week segment too. Because mid-week is when my brain turns to mush.
