Chapter 109: I Like Your Doodle

The rest of that Saturday night that was the first session of four for the Teen Beauty Pageant went extraordinarily well. The Pre-teen section was an instant hit with the audience with lots of parents proudly looking out for just their own kid and feeling even prouder if that child won one of the instant spot prizes. The first instant prize to go was for the best dressed pre-teen. That went to an eleven year old boy who had on a ‘real’ black and white suit just like Chris Maple’s. The boy looked just splendid as he skipped around the stage with the other kids. He even had a little black and white showman’s stick that he flipped and tossed about with great precision. He really did look every bit the showman with everyone clapping loudly when he deservedly won his prize ... a day out for the whole family at a local theme park. The little guy just couldn’t believe his luck and shouted out to his mom and dad in the audience about his sudden rise to fame and the good fortune that had come with it.

The second spot prize was for the most creative outfit worn by one of these under thirteen year old performers. That prize was easily won by a young nine year old girl dressed up in a costume made entirely of fresh fruit and vegetables sown into the fabric of a skin coloured leotard. The costume did appear to be quite heavy but the young girl somehow managed to prance around with the others but with little bananas, and bunches of grapes, and long skinny cucumbers, and other produce bouncing around against her body. When she won her prize she became just as ecstatic as the first winner and started shouting out to her dad... “I won, I won, I won, I won.” But her faced dropped suddenly when she saw the prize certificate stating she had won $700 worth of home renovations for her family. She obviously thought she was going to a theme park too. When her dad heard what the prize was he jumped up and shouted, “Woo hoo! Way to go, Tracey!” He was obviously more than happy with the voucher and called out to Tracey, “Don’t worry, Honey. You’ll get the electric pink room you’ve always wanted. I promise!” At that Tracey’s face lit up again as she shouted back with, “Love you, dad!” and carried on swinging her fruit and vegetables around the stage with the others.

The third instant prize proved a little harder to narrow down ... the most confidently presented participant. Tammy, Chris and one of the other judges were on stage trying to figure out who to give this too when one twelve year old girl did something that instantly made her the winner - hands down. The other pre-teens were all acting rather confidently for their age - you’d probably have to have a certain amount of spunk just to want to get up there in the first place - but one pre-teen girl did something out of the blue that showed off a whole heap more spunk than was expected.

After the first two prizes had been awarded the kids continued to parade around the stage acting like they owned the place. The audience all thought it just great fun to watch their kids having such a great time. After about ten minutes of this one twelve year old girl in a one piece Elvis Presley jump suit rocked up to Chris Maple and stared hard at his black penis bobbing about just below the girl’s face. Chris started to feel a little uncomfortable about this and looked at Tammy for some sort of a clue as to what to do. Tammy shrugged and shook her head and just said, “Go with the flow. You’ll think of something.”
