The children are waiting! Please tell them the story about the bald frog with the wig:
One day Seymour the bald frog slipped and fell into the pond while he was wearing his favorite wig, the one that made him look like Steve McQueen. The wig slipped down over his eyes and he was eaten by Joyce, the snake with one eye. The moral of the story: If you fall into the pond with your wig on, try to land on Joyce's blind side. Or...well...what do you think the moral is?
