2007 Grand Slam winner Juliet Wayne opened up the 2008 Grand Slam as a guest storyteller, ostensibly to break the ice for the storytellers who followed. But I think you’ll agree that she set the bar pretty high right out of the gate! And read below for the unbelievable coda:

As it turns out, by totally random coincidence, the family Juliet babysat for happened to be in the audience for the GrandSlam. They hadn’t seen each other since the moment that serves as the climax to Juliet’s story! They came up on stage looking for Juliet after the event, and not with retribution on their minds. Hugs all around, and an even better conclusion to an already excellent story. Thanks Juliet!
