The 6th,7th and 8th grade thespians of French Middle School, Topeka, Kansas, presented Annie Jr., an abridged version of the Broadway musical Annie last week. Mrs. T and I had the privilege of attending the final presentation.
Without further ado I present our granddaughter Annie, aka Liz, aka 6th grader Paige in her rendition of Tomorrow.
I am so proud of her, the kids worked like troupers, it was a splendid performance.
My GAWWWDDD! That voice! She did it, she held all those notes and she triumphed all the way to the end, ah such bravery, and poise. How does she do all that, on a stage, with people watching, and not mind all those eyes focused on HER? I'm completely amazed. Thank you for sharing this.
"...it didn't come from her father's side I can assure you."
You are denying that you and [your son,] Paige/Liz/Annie's dad are not showmen? I don't know, but from where I sit, and from what I've read around here, I see showmanship coded all up and down her paternal line. If you want to take some credit, I'd be the first to give you some. ['cept for them shoes]
An irregular conversation about what's on my mind, observations on human nature, the decline of civility, and the ways men and women see the world differently.

Flo, it didn't come from her father's side I can assure you.
I hope you weren't wearing a shirt with buttons, Toad. Perfect little Annie. How wonderful, too, that those lyrics will be with her forever.
Your heart must be bursting with wholly warranted pride. Congrats.
Many thanks to each of you. I was one proud grandpa, in my tartan pants black turtleneck and really blue shoes.
