Lesson 2

Ah yes, lesson #2. So, I was in fifth grade and we were going to perform a whimsical musical about clowns. I decided, because no one took it upon themselves to tell me how bad I was, that I would try out for a lead role, which included a solo. The day of the try out for the role, I got a good night's sleep, ate a good breakfast and performed Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting" with all my heart. To my utter surprise I was given the role...however, the original solo was slightly altered.

Are kidding me? I'm not sure I'm even ready for him to see this now.

How do I not remember this? Have I completely blocked it from my memory? The one thing I think I remember of you from around that time was when you were going to sing "Love Shack" at the talent show (I think?!) and they wouldn't let you because they thought it had a curse word in it. For some reason I have a memory of this being a big scandal. Ah. The drama.
