Make. It. Stop.

I went to my nephew’s end of year school performance last night. Kids everywhere! I mean EVERYWHERE! Screaming, running, laughing, running into me, screaming.

How do teachers do it?

There were 6 performances, one for each grade, it was pure punishment. The best thing about the night, I was sitting next to my sister and *we* were giggling like 2 school girls. Mother wasn’t impressed. Ha! She should be happy we’re getting along.

My gorgeous little nephew played a tree in Hansel and Gretel, he’s such a little performer, the ‘bully’ of his grade played the ‘angel’ and was dancing around the stage, so evil, so appropriate.

I was singing along to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, my sister teasing me… Between acts my sister noticed I was wearing flat shoes with a huge ‘what! You wear flat shoes? I’ve never seen you in flats before!’ of course this was a little too loud and we had the 2 rows in front of us trying to look.

I never fathomed I would see someone I know at a primary school end of year concert but I did. It was a stare off, the real estate agent that I’ve plotted a scheme to ruin his life. My mum and sister were shocked to witness this mutual hatred for one another… He’ll get his.

After the performance the principal of the school gave a little speech with subsequent instructions to parents for collecting their child. I felt like an infant, my sister and I giggling again. We then received a glare from my nephews teacher, that be quite glare which made us laugh even more. Mum was so embarrassed.

Flats, really... moccasins or timberland style hush puppies?

Detention, hmmm, somehow as adults sounds so much more fun!

The sound of children screaming make me want to gouge out my ear drums. Ugh. Props to you for putting up with it (and giving them a taste of their own medicine).
