For many years I went on book tours, which took me to major cities all over the US and Canada. When I was invited to go to New York by “People Magazine,” I asked my mother-in-law, Ruth, if she’d like to come. My husband and “Grandpa” took care of the kids for the 3 days we were away. It was the first time Ruth and I had travelled together, and I wanted her trip to be the best it could be. The one Broadway show I wanted her to see was “A Chorus Line.” I had seen it twice before and had enjoyed it so much I wanted to see it again. All through the show Ruth kept looking at her watch. When the show ended and the curtain fell, I was annoyed with her. Thinking she had disliked the show, I asked why she kept checking her watch. With eyes full of tears, she looked at me and said, “I didn’t want it to end!”
The excitement and rush Elizabeth feels after the performance have loosened her jaws and she’s telling her mother all sorts of tidbits. It’s always a good opportunity to sit back quietly and find out what goes on in your child’s life and mind.
Elizabeth in doing what most children do when the stress is behind them, that is talk about it, seemingly endlessly. I used to love to listen to my Mike in these situations.

we don’t want to know Michael’s critique, do we?

It’s the kind of “magic” where you are unaware the show is over and you stare at nothing until your daughter wonders what is wrong with you.

There are several people in his tights? That’s what I call … a tight squeeze. Brenna must’ve felt like she needed something extra.

That’s exactly what happens in these situations. Aahhh….

She’ll still be winding down an hour from now.
