If you had to do one trick at a kids’ party, which would you perform?

If you had to do one trick at a kids’ party, which would you perform?
I used to love having my back scratched when I was a kid. Grandma C and my mother were the best! Recently my wife gently stroked my back for just a few seconds while saying goodnight to me before retiring to bed. The soft, slow, ticklish caress caused the hairs on my arm to stand on end. I took the opportunity to introduced her to a new word: pyroerection. Don’t bother looking it up; it’s not a real word. The term I was searching for was piloerection. What a difference a couple letters can make. I attempted to describe the reflexive response of the sympathetic nervous system to contract the tiny muscles at the base of hair follicles. Instead, I implanted in her mind’s eye some conflation of flamethrower and phallus. Of course, I highly doubt the French could have been any more terrified had the deathly fire raging toward them in the First World War emanated from a nude German soldier’s erection. Thankfully, parents never invite me to their childrens’ parties. To make sure this trend continues, I vow to perfect my German accent.
