Which one, you ask? You know, the one in the pre-K/K portion of the church pagent who appeared to be shoving a couple of the other boys off of the stage during their rendition of “Away in a Manger.” Apparently, we were demonstrating the “away” portion of that particular carol.
Now, to be fair, I do think the other boys had the gleam of “potential stage diving opportunity” sparkling in their eyes. It could be that our little one gave them the push they needed to live their dreams. Yep, that’s how we’ll spin it in the Christmas letter.
For my daughter’s May Day Program, she was on stage yelling “Stop copying me!” to the girl next to her. We pretended we didn’t know who’s child that was! LOL!
Local girl: That is HILARIOUS! Thanks for sharing it here.
I’m not sure if reading things like this (Local Girl too!) makes me happy or sad I will never have children. :0
I especially like the part when he shoved multiple boys off the stage, not just a mere one. An overachiever is born.
For the record: The first boy was elbowing him trying to get to the microphone, and the second was clearly in mid “dive”
Sounding a bit defensive there Bald Man? Perhaps it is time to throw the flag and call for a review of the play…
Sheila: It’s experiences like this that make me think, “What was I thinking having children!?!”
I guess he figured, “If I’m gonna get in trouble for one, might as well make it worth my while.”
Bald Man: Yeah, they were wanting to jump. They all enjoyed it too much.
Kel: We do have it on tape. We can review it over the holidays.
Yet more evidence that the pressure to be good for Christmas is too great. Pushing during pageants is just one example. My 4 year-old turned all the burners on the stove on and melted my electric kettle (fortunately, no one was hurt) and a friend’s 4 year-old intentionally peed his bed to register his displeasure at being sent there.
Kelli: I have not seen the movie yet but I did watch a documentary just yesterday all about it. I know you knew nothing about the plane crash until you started teaching there and I had known about it many years before you ever went there but that’s besides the point. My point is…..”I Wish I Had Known Marshall Is In Huntington When You Were There! I would have had you go see a Blizzards game! They’re great!” I learned Marshall is in Huntington while watching this documentary yesterday. Oh well.
I haven’t seen anything yet, but I’ll say, if Baldman smells dive, I’m sure it was a dive. No one knows proper dive technique than Baldman. I’ve seen him take a few on the pitch which were oscar-worthy.
(I made that whole thing up, but it was funny in my mind.)
Rantz: Baldman would be completely offended at being insinuated to be a diver. He hates divers, which is why he pushed all those kids down on the way out the door. (yeah, right.
)
Well… Don’t remember, but I think Baldman is an Argentina supporter, and Diego is the biggest diver there ever was. Almost made me think about not watching soccer anymore, the negative influence he had on the sport. Next thing you know some Frenchman is going to headbutt someone…
It’s like you’re a reverse fortune teller or something…
Maybe that is why all my tarot readings have been so off lately, I’m doing them backward! blast it all! How do I find forward on this thing?
