Storytelling

I was sitting around watching old Jonathan Winters footage on the "youtube" and I daydreamed about being able to tell stories off the top of my head like he does. Sometimes, I can barely get a sentence out, let alone make up a five minute story. My Mom was from Dayton, which is where Mr. Winters is from, and she always used to say he was the funniest man who ever lived. I remember trying to just make up stories like him when Mom was really sad to try to cheer her up. I was really bad, but I think she enjoyed it. "That was great Curt," she would say, and she would keep asking me questions to help me out and get me to flesh out the details.
I guess I just don't have much of an imagination. You couldn't invent a story like the girl with the unicycle from yesterday!
