Define "good", please.
The day before yesterday, I was coming out of school with Tara, when she ran off to hug a young man at the school gates. I recognized him as being one of the leaders of her theater workshop. I didn't catch their entire exchange, but I distinctly heard him saying, "Are you good at school?"
Yesterday I received a letter, via the school, from said workshop. Apparently the children are to perform at a charity thing on Saturday. Real stage. Real audience. The letter requested that we call to confirm attendance, given the short notice.
I called and said, "Tara would love to be there, but are you sure you want her?"
I could have been joking, since I made no reference to her previous performance.
"Oh, don't say that. She was really good last time", the organizer replied.
*gulp*
That was one of her "good" moments?!
We'll go on Saturday. But only if I can stand in the wings with one of those hooked sticks so I can yank her offstage if necessary.
And I'll be sure to bring sunglasses and a hat. Possibly a fake beard and a stone to crawl under.
