A Promise Kept

Last year, Justin, his son Ethan and I went up to New York City for Ethan's first movie audition. Of course, he was a ball of nerves, not a good thing for a nine year old in a pressure situation. So, to calm him down, I promised him that he could hit me in the face with a whipped cream pie if he did a good job.

Well, long story short, he didn't get the part, but I still owed him the pie. Later, I discovered that Ethan's brother Jaron was getting into the business as well, so I decided to make it fair and carry the promise over to him as well. The following pictures are the end result.

First, Me, Jaron and Ethan, both with their pies...

First up is Jaron, and here he is wailing me in the mellon with his pie...

The aftermath of Jaron's pie. Willow says I look totally geeky covered in whipped cream *saves that thought for later*...

And now, the original promisee, Ethan, takes his shot at me with his pie. Keep in mind, I was in the middle of telling him to not hit me too hard with it. I barely got the word "hard" out before there was a pie being smacked into my visage...

And finally, the final shot of me. Ethan made sure to rub it into my hair, ensuring that I'd have to go upstairs and take a shower...

And there you have it. A promise made, a promise kept. No matter how silly it is, I have every intention of keeping my word. Ethan and Jaron, you guys are doing a great job with your auditions. Keep it up! Someday, you guys are going to be big time...
