Getting Free Stuff

Mommy:Short story: Sarah got a free CD from the songwriter, Dave Kinnoin, at Bella Terra.  Long Story: At Bella Terra today, I was sitting on a chair under an awning at the back of the amphitheater to keep Poema out of the sun.  I was still on the grass where you were playing while I talked to some mommy friends. You saw people had papers with autographs from the musician. The next thing I knew you were waiting to get one. I could tell you were talking with him and as you slowly turned to walk away he was asking the people around him where your mother was. He asked alittle louder so I waved my hand and smiled, assuming he just wanted to make sure you were with an adult.
He was all packed up to leave and I noticed you had made your way over to talk to him again. He walked towards where I was now standing and said, "She's yours? Well . . . you're, you're going to have your hands full with this one." I asked him what you had been saying to him, trying to figure out what would make him react that way. He didn't give a clear answer and was just sort of shaking his head. He opened his bag and handed me a CD saying, "I don't usually give this CD to kids under 8-years-old but I think she can handle it." Then, he walked away as we thanked him.

I asked you what you were talking about with him and you said you couldn't remember . . .we will never know.  

The CD title is "Dunce Cap Kelly."  I don't know if we should use that as a clue to why he gave you the CD.  :-)
