I think zorg's outline for a Borrible template is pretty much spot-on, as general as it is. (I'd say at least a +1 IQ, +1 DX for Borribles, in addition to basic child stats.)
Mm. It's missing a few things, though:
A skill bonus to slingshot, as it's their "traditional weapon".
Streetwise at IQ or better -- it's practically a prerequisite for becoming a Borrible.
Likewise Urban Survival.
Area Knowledge for their neighborhood.
There are a lot of examples of extemporaneous songs -- maybe a skill bonus to Poetry?
Public Speaking, either at IQ or as a skill bonus, to handle storytelling.
And I still think too much in 3rd Ed -- I was also going to say Bard for the oral culture. But that's not in the skill system any more.
