Jodie loves to juggle - plates, oranges, anything! But his mum isn't so keen - not when Jodie has so many 'accidents' when practicing his juggling skills. She'd rather Jodie played something less destructive, like football in the park. Will she persuade Jodie to swap his juggling for football? And will Jodie the footballer be less accident-prone than Jodie the juggler?
