MANDY'S STORY
When I was 4 years old, my mom and
I went to a KITH taping (they thought I
was too young to go, but I told them about how much I knew and
loved KITH and they let me in). Well anyway, I was in the front
row in front of the Fran,
Gorden and Brian scene, and in between takes, my mom and I noticed
that Bruce kept on looking at me and smiling. So, according to
my mom, I was freaking, and stuff.
And then, after everyone left, I got lost, and I wandered backstage.
I was so lost, and I was freaking out, crying and whatever. Then
I heard the most beautiful voice from behind me:
"Are you okay?"
I turned around, and there he was, Bruce McCulloch!
"Yeah I'm fine...can you help me find my Mommy?"
He held my hand and said,
"Okay, what does she look like and whats her name?"
I looked up at him and said,
"She's taller then you, and she looks like a mommy."
"What's her name?" he asked.
"Kelly"
"And what's your name?"
"Mandy Pandy" (thats what everyone called me)
"Okay, Mandy Pandy, I saw you when we were doing the show,
I think I have a
good idea of what your mom looks like."
We walked down the halls, and we passed Dave who was sitting there
laughing at himself (?). All they said to each other was,
"Hey Dave."
"Hey Bruce."
Then we stopped in front of a vending machine full of candy and
pop.
"Are you hungry?" he asked. I nodded my head and smiled.
"Me too, do you like Cheesies?" he asked.
"Yeah....."
"Okay, then here ya go." He handed me a bag, and we
continued to walk to the front lobby. Munchin' on Cheesies.
I remember Bruce and I talking, but I can't remember what about.
When we got to the lobby, my mom was there.
"OH MY GOD, MANDY!" she screamed as she ran to me.
"Look what I found mom, Bruce!" She and he laughed and
shook hands.
"Thanks for helping her, Bruce." said my mom,and the
rest is a blur. Well, that conversation is. All I remember after
that is Bruce picking me up and giving me a hug and a kiss on
the cheek. And he told me and my mom to come back. And needless
to say, he remembered me when I met him again in T.O after the
show was canceld (I cried to him), and at the Same Guys New Dresses
Tour, and the Tour Of Duty. He always remembers me as Mandy Pandy.
Thanks to Mandy for her story.
