KT: Please share your funniest story or memory with Kids’ Time.Robin: I have many! But one that I will always remember was one of our kids from 4 years ago who had the best laugh! She could make the worst day better with her laugh. She was standing with a jump rope and said, “do you want to see me jump,” the other para and I said, “yes.” She just stood there and smiled and laughed her goofy laugh and said, “wait for it!” Another kid was great at the floss dance and would stop by if he wasn’t coming to Kids’ Time and would yell, “Miss Robin” and stand in the door way doing the floss yelling “BYE!” They are both in High School now!
