it was a day of contrasts
first
a surprise pickup
at baby b and baby j’s school
and off to
the mega-plex
for a classic show
about
relationships
and love
called
‘cinderella’
and
junk food
and
blankets
and
cozy seating
with
lots of cup holders
and then
i was
off to
the intimate
ringwald theater
for a new show
about
relationships
and love
called
‘about sex’
and because
i was late arriving
fresh from
my cinderella experience
i parked illegally
ran in
and
met an actor
in the lobby
wearing only
boxer shorts
ready to take the stage
and
was introduced
by the
stage manager
my friend
right
in the middle
of his opening
and waved
to the audience
as i walked to
my tiny seat
in the front row
and
enjoyed
party punch
and
bags of
adult party favors
and
much laughter
and
great acting
it was quite a day.

Your precious ones are so cute and photogenic, Beth! I am so glad you took them to that and we both enjoyed this one. The M & M girls loved this one so much!
I could not get my grandson to go, age 6, since he insisted he would ‘save me money’ for the next movie he wants to see, “Home” with the guy who plays Sheldon in “Big Bang Theory” playing a purple alien. It does look so cute and hilarious.
Now, the man in boxers, was he cute? You must tell me! ha ha! I live vicariously through my friends, since I have been so lazy and not going out as an ‘adult!’ What a day of contrasts!
