David had his holiday performance at preschool, which was a rendition of The Gingerbread Man in which David got to play...the fox! What a perfect fit for a boy who is mischievous and wily. He was very excited about the performance and talked about the preparations for two weeks straight. And anyone who knows David knows that he has only about two volumes, which are normal and LOUD. So you can imagine my surprise when the teachers said he was extremely shy about saying his lines and whispering his parts in rehearsal only after many prompts. Whaaaat?!? Is this is the kid who talks constantly at home?
On the big day, many of the kids were clearly a little bit nervous about having a parent audience, but they seemed to enjoy it, too, at the same time. David managed to come through on his lines nicely, which were:
Come closer, I can't hear you (said to the Gingerbread Boy)...
Come closer, I can't hear you...
Chomp! Mmmm! Mmmm!
