After a concert in Tree Top Grove, Fats decided to call on Charlotte, a lady friend he hadn’t seen in eight years.
To prove that he still had “it”, Fats performed his infamous hat trick. “My trunk had a few more groves,” he chuckled, “but it still had all of the moves.”
Charlotte appeared suitably impressed. “You have a trick for me? Well, I’ve got a treat for you.” She stretched up and spread her legs…
..to remove the table and reveal 8-year-old Fats Jr. Surprised, the elder Fats lost his hat.
“Daddy!” “You two get acquainted,” Charlotte said. “I’m going on an eight year cruise.”
Fats suddenly found his voice again. “Charlotte, wait!” Meanwhile, Fats Jr. found a new toy and a new song. “I’m walkin’ like my Daddy and wearin’ his hat.”
