It's random story time. Deb recently shared a story on her blog and I felt that it might be fun to share something random as well. I had a hard time thinking about what to write about, but here goes...
When I was in Kindergarten my class put on a circus for our families, complete with "lions," "tigers," and . . . well I guess there really weren't any bears. I was chosen as the popcorn ma'am. I was given this role so that I might sing the solo about being a popcorn person. On the day of the big show I was dressed in my favorite blue leotard (I was also an acrobat, of course). It was very much an eighties sort of outfit. When it was time for my solo I walked out onto the middle of the floor with a giant box of popcorn tied around my neck. I then gave it my very best effort. And . . . no one could hear me. I had to sing the whole song again with the rest of the class helping me out. How humiliating. It was a good time overall, but it's funny to think about my first solo in front of a real audience. My friend Jill has the whole thing on tape. We break it out occasionally for a good laugh.
