Don't You Mean Spring Has Sproinged?

A mother shoos her little boy--wearing a Lord Fauntleroy outfit and beret--into the other room. "Now run in and say hello to your aunts, darling. They love you very much!" The boy goes into the other where two women are. They begin cooing and fawning over him. "Whose little man are you?" asks one. "Yes, who is this little man?" asks the other. "Sheesh!" the boy says, upset, and goes back to the room with his mother. "They don't even know who I am!" he yells.

I don't like it when family members do this. I never know if I need to remind them who I am or if they are joking around and/or being cute. Anyway, hire me if you want to ruin any family gathering. I'll even dress like this kid if you pay extra.

This kid sounds like the kid in Spike Jones' "All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth", right? Definitely sounds like George Rock.

Veeblefester stands at a file cabinet doing some filing(?) as a 'sproing sproing' noise happens in the distance. We close-up on Veeblefester's face, which is horrifying, as the 'sproinging' gets closer. Brutus then bounces by on a pogo stick shouted with delight "Spring has sprung!" as he sproings away.
Brutus spent somewhere between $60-100 on a pogo stick for what is kind of a dangerous bit that could get him or someone hurt and possibly fired and/or sued? I mean, it's his money. And he seems better at pogo-ing than I would be.
