Little Performers

Ok, if you're sick watching my kids in videos singing, I apologise. This is their big thing now-performing and I'm not about quash that in them. On top of that, when I was young, my mom made a big deal about how it was important for one to not be self-conscious. Her solution to that was to make me stand on the chair, or a table and speak to the floor, audience, curtains. It sounded easier than it was. Standing up on the table to speak was indeed terrifying and when I got picked to emcee something for school, I really had no choice but to suck it up and do what she told me to.

When the twins decided that it was the most fun thing to stand on furniture and belt out tunes, the grandparents ran helter-skelter, worried they might fall over and break their necks and crack open their skulls. Not that I'm not worried about that, I'm just against bubble wrapping them. Anyway, they seemed quite comfortable belting out tunes on top of their voices from a raised platform, of course, mixing up words from various songs and getting distracted but generally doing a pretty cool job.

It'll come in useful. They have a performance coming up and a video thing to record for their grandma's 70th birthday. Seems like I really won't need them to send them to speech and drama class or anything. I'll just keep on letting them ham it up at home.
