I always always love it when the littlest ones come on, so cute in their little tutus, always a little unsure, and always, always good for a little giggle or two.<br /><br />I'm sorry for your 6 yr old self, but this was an enjoyable read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640496057427000320.post-49230964452849140672011-10-28T21:35:36.315-04:002011-10-28T21:35:36.315-04:00It sounded like you had some big shoes to fill!

M...This is great, thanks for sharing the memory! <br /><br />My concrit is similar to that of Barbara. Given the adult voice you're using, this maybe should be set up so that it's clear that you as an adult are telling the story... perhaps you are watching the video, or watching someone else watch the video?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640496057427000320.post-73860563323180348632011-10-28T10:50:15.508-04:002011-10-28T10:50:15.508-04:00Oh, that's wonderful!

What a funny little moment (funny now, mortifying then, I am sure) to remember!<br /><br />My concrit challenge would be to put your reader more into the mind of you as a little kid: look at: "I fidget as my mom applies pink blush to the apples of my cheeks, even though I'm already prone to looking flushed as it is."<br /><br />I love the image of you fidgeting, but I don't believe that a young child knows she is "already prone to looking flush." That is the high-brow language of us adults! A young kids may think: "my mom applies pink blush to me cheeks: making me pinker than even normal."<br /><br />I love, love, love, your last line: "I scream again and again until my parents rescue me from the stage." You poor little thing!<br /><br />- Barbara @ derebus.net/home, via Write on EdgeBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05481035784237871634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640496057427000320.post-571406494829546422011-10-28T10:48:28.585-04:002011-10-28T10:48:28.585-04:00I suppose you can look back on the episode now, an...I suppose you can look back on the episode now, and see the funny side... but I'm sure it was quite a big deal for you as a 6 year old.<br />A great reflection!Michelle Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750092836481599870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640496057427000320.post-39385546913747197452011-10-28T10:26:08.776-04:002011-10-28T10:26:08.776-04:00We were just at a recital and a little girl stripp...We were just at a recital and a little girl stripped naked faster than you could imagine in the middle of the stage ... memories ;)The Sisters' Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797948652615263591noreply@blogger.com
