Trevor’s Favorite Toy - Between the Scenes

Trevor’s favorite toy growing up? A brick.

1. Reminds me of how we were always on lookout for small pieces of chain that we would use

as hopscotch markers.
Brought a smile to my face.

2. I really loved that story too

My first thought was posting it as an OP, but it was an obvious followup to one of his lead stories. Made me smile, too.

3. We would also take pieces of cardboard and slide down the grassy hills in the summer. Hard

to get going at first until you did it enough to bruise the grass to brown, then you would be flying down the hill.

Thanks for posting this. I needed the smile.

4. That's another wonderful story, thanks for sharing!

When he was telling it, I could picture the kids. We spent a lot of time outside and we found treasures too.

5. He does know how to paint a picture with words!

6. He often gets personal with the audience - and he'll weigh in on things "off camera"

At least on segments that aren't a part of the show. He really seems to "get" American politics, despite having only been here since 2011. But the ones I like best are the reminiscences about his childhood in South Africa. He had an unusual childhood and his stories are fascinating.

7. Completely agree.
