Strange Is Love

Who doesn't think their kid is the cutest? Seriously.
But mine really is. Both.
Warning, about to brag on the oldest....

My sister called me. She told me how my youngest niece had hot plans to audition for the local college's musical, which was featuring a handful of roles for children. KK suggested that Flynn try out as well.

I've always wanted Flynn to have more exposure on the stage, she hasn't had near as much as I had at her age. So I figured it was a plan... and yesterday, asked her if she was interested.

"Okay." And got increasingly interested.

I explained the process to her, how she'd stand in front of a group of people, who'd be STARING at her (she sometimes has a problem w/ this) & she'd be asked a question or two, then be asked to SING for the group... and that I wouldn't be able to help her, that she might not even see me.

She didn't seem phased. And then I asked what song she wanted to sing. "How about 'Jesus Loves Me'?"

I was cool w/ that. I figured, she's sang no other song as many times. It's the song she sings to Baby Levi every Tues. & Wed.

But then, she had an idea. "How about Syliva & Mickey?" (Love is Strange)

I agreed that would be a strong choice. I figured it featured a bit more personality & taught her the title, as I figured that'd be a question they'd ask.

Fully prepared for her to chicken out on the way to the front, she shocked me by looking at the director & answering his questions with a straight face.

"Flynn, you're five?"

"Yes."

"Where do you go to school?"

"I dunno."

"Okay, what will you be singing for us?"

"Strange Is Love."

The director commented that it's one of his favorite songs, even though that title is most likely not a song (altho Love Is Strange is).

And she gave it her all. Never stuttered or had a loss. And even threw in a hand motion or two. And if it wasn't midnight, I'd wake Jeff & ask for his memory card to upload the very-amateur vid.

So, you'll just have to take my word for it that she's a shoe in. That she broke a leg.
And...

Strange Is Love.
