"Donkey Tales"

Last night the children's choir at church had a performance. Both girls love being involved in the choir. Neither had a main role, but each had two solos. Yahoo #1 is constantly amazing me with the strength of her voice. I seem to be doing a double take lately when she sings wondering where that voice is coming from. She had one part in the play where she had to pretend to fall. Now yahoo #1 is not the most graceful of creatures so she has had plenty of practice and did her role well. She got a kick out of that. Yahoo #2 is just a ham. Yep. That's right. If someone is watching, she is ready to perform. After a disasterous dress rehearsal, the play went off pretty well. Two of the little girls (yahoo #2 included) didn't know one of the solos. Luckily, the third did, however said third little girl was on a mission to sing it and get it over with. She was nowhere near on time with the music. Now keep in mind that my yahoo and the other little girl couldn't come up with their own parts to the solo, BUT they had plenty to say about the other little girl being off. Yahoo #2 was making motions and whispering during the solo about what the other little girl was doing wrong. Priceless. Yahoo #2's other solo went wonderful. At the end of the play, all the kids were supposed to hold hands and take a bow. Yahoo #2 decided that wasn't enough. She, with the other two little girls in two, took center stage and had the three of them bow. After that, the older kids took turns bowing so it looked planned. I heard from the choir leader later that it was not. She was so amused! What a hoot!
