PTA performance fallout

Last night, the boys had their first little on stage performance after a quick PTA meeting. Apparently, I got the memo that Nolan's class needed to have beards painted on their faces and thought Reed needed a facial hair making as well. As it turned out, Nolan's class was all Puritan men and women and Reed's class were turkeys. This year, Arnold Mill Elem had their first ever turkey with a mustache! Oh well, he loved it at first but once the performance got underway, I saw him slowly stepping his way off stage, until I saw him turn around and put his hands on his face, visibly crying. Here we go! His teacher took him off stage and brought him to me to watch the rest of the show from the audience. Nolan did great! He sang the songs, did the hand gestures, even filed out of the stage like he was supposed to. Then his water works started! What!!!?? "no fair Reed got to come sit with you! I wanted to sit with you, too!!!" Are you kidding me? Looks like they've saved me a trip to the PTA meeting next year! Apparently, these boys weren't cut out for shoebiz. At least we know now!
The were so incredibly tired last night, as soon as we got in the car, they both sacked out. Guess we won't be following in the footsteps of brothers Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen! (phew!!)
