Remember Those "Mom Points" I Wanted to Claim Last Week?

[qos]

I sure could have used them to cash in tonight!

Tonight was my daughter's elementary school talent night.

A talent night in the Affirming tradition. Any child who wanted to participate could participate, so long as the act was under 2 minutes and they showed up for all rehearsals.

No elementary school talent show should run more than 2-1/2 hours.
My daughter's skit was #61 of 68.
They were at 2-1/2 hours and counting when we left.

'Nuff said.

Except this: she did great.
(Of course!)

She's high as a kite.
I've got the shakes.

I am seriously impressed, again, that you didn't kill anyone.

Well done.

Wow, they shoulda done it over a period of two nights. I've sat through 3 1/2 hour dance recitals. But at least the dance recitals were mostly pretty ok. Glad you made it through. Moms are the best! What did your daughter perform?

She was in a skit about a doctor's office.
She was the bored receptionist.
Her voice carries unusually well for a little girl, and she had very good delivery of her lines, so she got some laughs, which was nice for her.

It was a very big audience, and there were a lot parents who were really into it. There was a lot of applause and cheers all night. I'm sure it was a great experience for the kids who performed. I felt rather Grinch-ish all evening in contrast.

Oh.my.good.god. Please tell me you didn't sit on bleachers for two and a half hours.

What.a.nightmare.

And I'll bet the school didn't provide tequila shots, either...

No, we sat on the wooden seats in the middle school's theater. So at least I had a backrest and somewhat contoured seats.

No tequila shots. But I had a drink when I got home. . .

A backrest is very good.

Still, though... there must be a special circle of purgatory for looooooooooong school assemblies of any kind.
