My oldest daughter (15) just got the lead in the school play!

[crim son]

She's going to be Eve in something called "The Serpent." She is a very good actress but has relatively little interest in bothering with it. In this case, "Adam" is supposed to be a popular/hot guy, so she tried out, lol.

Have a great night everybody. I'm outta here! :hi:

[lizziegrace]

1. No matter what the motivation is

I'm glad she got the part. :)

[crim son]

2. Me too, lizziegrace.

She made me promise not to tell her father about the motivation, though. I think it's a secret we can share :)

[billyskank]

3. Woo hoo!

:bounce:

Have a lovely evening. :hug:

[crim son]

4. You too!

:hi: :hug:

[billyskank]

6. It's almost done

Just time for a Stargate SG-1 and then it's time for bed. But thank you. :)

[graywarrior]

5. Yay!

[crim son]

7. Hi graywarrior.

Did you ever do any acting? You strike me as somebody who'd be good at it. :P

[graywarrior]

8. I got actors in my family...all drama queens.

[crim son]

9. Hehehe.

Both my older kids are very comfortable on stage, for some reason. You, a drama queen? :hug:

[graywarrior]

11. I'm back...went for a run.

Yeah, my mother was an actress and singer, and my brother is a musician. My mother's father was a band leader in the 40's with a flair for the dramatic. I really should be on the stage, but I can't stand being out in public for too long. Ha. I'm a wierdo.

[crim son]

16. While you ran, I ate.

The fact that you run is proof that you are a weirdo. A fit, ultra-cool weirdo but still... weirdo :P

[graywarrior]

17. I run like a girl.....bwhahahaha

:rofl:

[crim son]

18. As long as you don't wun

like a wabbit.

[graywarrior]

20. a fuckin' wabbit.

Man, I have trash mouth today.

[crim son]

21. Every second word out of my mouth these days is Fuck.

I'm fwustwated, I tell you. Fuckin' fwustwated.

[graywarrior]

23. Me too. I want to go to a biker bar and have REV mouth off.

[crim son]

24. I'm all anger with no release.

I'd probably start to cry if you jumped in to save her. Everything makes me cry, even my breakfast cereal, when I'm not telling it to fuck off.

[graywarrior]

25. That's been my greeting lately.

"Hi"
"Fuck off"

"Where can I find the Ringling Museum?"
"Fuck off"

"Do you know how fast you were going, miss?"
"Fuck off"

[crim son]

27. We need solace.

We need a windfall.

[graywarrior]

28. Sugar daddies. Not old ones, tho.

[crim son]

30. Not old, but wise.

I don't want just another dumb but beautiful boy. :rofl:

[graywarrior]

33. I'd prefer a bimbo-boy with a generous wallet.

[bigwillq]

10. How cool.

Congrats to your daughter. :bounce::toast::hi:

[crim son]

14. She is very happy right now.

Between the play and a dance tomorrow night, fortune is smiling upon her. :hi:

[SPKrazy]

12. You're Out of here?

bbbbut

have fun!

:pals:

[crim son]

13. That was from last night.

When I answered lizziegrace the thread got kicked. I'm here for the evening, believe me :7

[graywarrior]

15. Hey!

[SPKrazy]

29. Oh Good!

Congrats to your daughter and to you!

motivation doesn't matter, she got the role! Besides, she's a 15 year old girl, that's what she's supposed to do!



;)

[Patiod]

19. Congrats! ;High school plays are always SO much fun

Good for her!

[crim son]

22. I love watching them even if my kid isn't in the cast.

They all try so hard and yet there is inevitably one or two small disasters. In this case, the disaster will be Kira's costume, which I will have to make. She'll be the first Eve to wear a burka.

[Patiod]

31. My SO's friend used to choreograph for the HS near us

I dragged him to see one of the shows, because a kid from my church was in it. He grumbled and complained until 45 16-18 year old girls came out to tapdance the opening number to "42 Street", wearing little middie blouses and tap pants (very modest given what teenagers wear today, but still)

"Hmm" he said "maybe this won't be so bad...." I slugged him.

[crim son]

32. ...

:spray:

Lol! I actually go with a neighbor to her kids' dance recital, not so much to see her children specifically but just to see the show. There are adults in it too. Nothing is more amusing than watching heavy, middle-aged people in their very first tapdance recital.

[GalleryGod]

36. Our H.S. is doing "Smokey Joe's Cafe" this Spring !!!

39 Songs! Can't wait !

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear crim son!

Major congrats to your daughter!

I know she'll have fun......my younger daughter was a thespian in high school......

She always had a blast, and it was fun seeing her on stage!

:headbang:

[Skittles]

34. hey that happened to me when I was 13

but when I excitedly told my dad about it he said, sorry, you won't even be in this country then....I remember thinking I had beem pretty stupid as a GI brat thinking I'd stay anywhere that long. :o

Congrats to your girl!

[BarenakedLady]

35. That's wonderful!

Congratulations to her!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[wildhorses]

37. should be fun for her--congrats!!

:applause:

[Left Is Write]

38. Congratulations! Maybe doing this play will motivate her to do other plays...

ulterior motives notwithstanding this time. :)
