It's too bad we didn't find out about the auditions for the local theatre group's version of Oliver! until it was too late - my kid has the acting bug. He was one of the leads in his school's production of Guys and Dolls. It was the first production the middle school had done of anything for ten years, and they did a terrific job.
Not only that, my kid was spectacular.
I know, he's my kid. Of course I think so. Except that I was
overhearing other people say that about him, his sister was absolutely
transfixed by his performance, and I was watching people ask him for autographs after the show was over. On one hand I was thinking, are people so craving being near celebrity that they're coming up to a 13 year-old boy for an autograph?
But then I realized that at least some of those folks were doing it for
his benefit. "I can say 'I knew him when'," explained one parent. My
kid beamed.
Aw, he had a blast.
