The Puppeteer

Owen and I have spent many happy afternoons lately taking turns telling stories with his puppet theatre. He is always very particular about where the audience should sit and when the show should start and then once he gets going his "plays" are, well, kind of free-form. But its really funny because he uses character voices and sound effects really well.

Now, you may think he gets that from me since I'm the one with the theatre background but I have to let you in on a little secret: Owen gets this ability from his Dad. This is no surprise to Paul's family I'm sure but Paul is extremely adept at creating highly amusing characters... voice, motivation, physicality, the works! and he'll improvise for a really long time much to Owen's delight! Not bad for a software engineer! Anyway, it's quite fun to watch them both.

Wow! Very lovely, Lisel and Owen. The red parasol sets you both off very well.
Yes, Paul's family does know his talents. He has provided some interesting humor through the years.
