I took the kids to see another play. When I bought the tickets I had no intention of taking Ethan and Jordyn to this particular show, however, Emma and Jared both had too much work to do. I couldn't very well let all the tickets go to waste so I dragged my friend, Kim, along because she shares my love of pride mixed with some prejudice and loaded up the little ones. I had no idea what to expect. The school matinees are reduced to 1 hour productions. This one however they decided not to reduce the time.....Uh oh. AND it was a radio production. This meant that they would each play several characters and it was all speaking behind a microphone. I thought it would be kinda fun since I'd never seen anything performed in that way before. I guess you can hear these productions on the radio just like old times before television. Well, that was my second 'Uh Oh." I was with 2 wee little ones that were going to have a hard time staying entertained. There was lots of squirming and Jordyn telling me she was confused as to who was supposed to be who because some of them played 3 characters. When intermission came I asked my friend if she would mind terribly if we called it a day so that I could rescue my children from their boredom. Live and learn, I say. I was enjoying myself but couldn't stand to see the kids suffer. To make up for it we went and got some yummy lunch and ice cream cones and then the kids managed to con me into not taking them back to school. I guess their day turned out to be not so bad after all.
