When Chad Met Little Ava: A Horror Story [Video]

Apparently, certain children are terrified of me.  Most kids like me because, let's face it, I am basically a 10-year-old trapped inside the body of a 43-year-old man who looks a little bit like Curious George. However, there are few children out there who react to me like I react to clowns.  Case in point, Ava.  Ava is the daughter of Ashley Sollars, the Digital Managing Editor for WBKR.com.  Ava visited the office the other day and literally hit the deck in the hallway as soon as she saw me.  Not kidding.  Picture it.  I smiled and said, "Hi, Ava!"  Ava hit the floor, assumed a tornado-safe position and cowered against the wall until I was gone.  Naturally, I continued to torment the child and she wasn't having it.  WATCH!

I would like to tell yo that Ava eventually warmed up to me.  However, it didn't happen.  Even when her grandma stopped by for a visit and I personally delivered her to Ava, Ava didn't see "nice Mr. Chad."  She saw "evil, devil clown holding a chainsaw."  But, whatever.  I tried to mend fences.  I tried to extend an olive branch. I tried to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.  I just failed miserably.  At least with Little Ava.  I suppose there's next time.  If she ever gets out of therapy.
