Adventures with Bruce - Barb Gigamaster and the Pizza Party Hide and Seek Game

by Ferdinand T Cat

TwinsAt6Mo.jpgThis picture, taken 16 years ago, is one of Bruce's favorites. It depicts the twins-- Barb Gigamaster and her sister Maggie-- at the age of six months. Even at this young age, their personalities are visible: Maggie is smiling guilelessly for the camera, and Barb has a mischevious grin while grabbing for the toys.

Bruce first began to realize Barb's potential when she was three years old.


The occasion was a party at a Pizza Hut featuring fun and games run by a professional clown. Most of the games took place at a cleared area near the front of the restaurant. Early in the evening, the clown told the children she had hidden playing cards all around the restaurant. The child who found the most cards would win a prize.

It was at this point that Barb revealed an unsuspected talent for thinking outside the box. She went to one of the tables, grabbed a card, ran back to the cleared area, and dropped it on the floor. The other very young children saw this and proceeded to drop all their cards in the same pile. When the whistle blew, Barb picked the whole pile and won the game.

Respectfully submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat

Keep that girl away from my boys. They get in enough trouble without someone teaching them more ways! Cute story and beautiful girls.
