I do this currently with my classes. During work time, kids will ask me âwhat your hardest/favorite trick?â and I will tell them âhey do ____ more problems and Iâll show you.â Itâs pretty fun.

I have to report about a positive interaction that I have had recently.
I was leaving work a little later that I had planned and was yo-yoing whilst walking through my office building, when a work college that I donât know that well was walking to opposite direction with his grand daughter tagging along (aprox. under 3yo).
So this provided me with an audience to display some skills. My college recognised it was a yo-yo and called out âCan you walk the Dog?â so i did the trick.
He proceeded to call out tricks that he knew, so I obliged with the trick. ârock the cradleâ, â round the worldâ that I did the tape measure style trick, as being inside I was concerned about the safety in the little girl watching the performance closely.
I continued walking out of the building, knowing that this may be the first time the young child has ever seen a yo-yo.
Job Done!
Does anyone remember the first time that they saw there first yo-yo?

Great stories guys!
I have one from this week.
Took both of my kids to the dentist. And as always when I am waiting for something, I pick up my responsive yoyo and start playing. (It is much more âoutdoorâ friendly as unresponsive one, because I have one free hand for handling the problems). Younger doughter was inside the office and the older one was pretending that she doesnât know me, as always when I pull my yoyo out.
I was having fun, while some other parent walks in with his son. I said hello and continued with my play, nothing fancy, just throwing few breakaways, stop&goâs, etc. when I noticed that the kid was mesmerized with this toy, that I bet he saw for the first time in his life. I uped a game a bit, made some Double or Nothing into Trapeze, DNA, etc. and his mouth opened even wider.
Then my kid was done, I collected their jackets and bags, I packed my yoyo, thanked the nurse and when we were leaving I heard that little kids mom said to him; âAlright, alright Iâll buy you one and it is called a yoyo!â
It really made my day, that in this digital era a simple rotating discs can make that kind of an impact. Yoyo is still mighty ss ever!
Have a great day or night guys and take care!

I got some âdeath glareâ from some snooty lady at McDonalds earlier when waiting for my foodâŚwas doing some kickflips with my Deepest State when she just stared. I returned the favor while continuing to throw, was not going to stop just because she might disapprove. Already not in the best of moods with life and work stuff going on currentlyâŚso let a guy just throw and unwindâŚglare at those teenagers on speaker phone in public instead.
