Today was my Christmas program at school. We have been rehearsing a lot for my big debut but the day before I ended up getting sick with an ear infection. So when the big day came I felt a little rusty.
My parents showed up and were stuffed in the back room of the school like sardines in a can. The infants were paraded in first being held by their teachers and everyone thought they were so cute!
Next up was my class; one thing they forgot to tell us when we were rehearsing is that there was going to be a 1000 beady eyes staring down on us. They expected us to stand there and perform like nothing was abnormal.
So the music starts and our teachers are singing "Dominick the Donkey." All I could do was stand there with a blank stare on my face and stare back at the crowd. Emily deserted me the minute she saw her mom.
Next thing you know "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause" starts blaring, Ms. Erica comes and smacks some big lips on the side of my head, and out of no where I see my mom standing there taking pictures. With all these people blocking my way to her, I just stood there and cried, eventually wandering over to some stranger's lap. Somehow, she broke through the crowd to rescue me, thank god!
We headed back to my classroom for some snacks and juice.
Overall, it was not my best moment and I think i'm pretty sure that this little shining star may not be cut out for broadway!
