Dhwani's musical - Lion and the Mouse

Yesterday was the 2nd grade musical at school. The theme was Aesop's fables. Dhwani was acting in Lion and the mouse as .....the LION. I was super excited that she got the part. Predictably, she was'nt quite as excited. She thought it was a BOY's part.

I remember back in my school days I took part in every annual day celebration. Some times I acted in multiple events - a dance, a drama, a chorus etc. 99% of the time I had a male part. And usually the villains role. I absolutely loved these parts. They were far more fun than the 'little miss goody 2 shoes' parts the heroines would get.

Dhwani felt a lot better about her role once I told her about the parts I took on. See how much fun she had!
