Don’t knock it
I’ll wait to see if the kid can swing it
I was a dead alien in our primary schools’ production of Men In Black.
My role was to go limp in a chair and let one of my classmates mockingly wave my corpse limbs around in lieu of dancing.
This actually brought back bad memories for me. Depressing stuff follows:
I went to a private school and had the same teacher for all six years. He hated me for multiple reasons and a lot of things he did to me would be considered just plain abusive today. It was bad to the point that my parents, who didn’t understand the issue, only figured it out when my mom ran into a schoolmate of mine years later in a supermarket and she told my mother that she felt so bad for me because of how he treated me.
Anyway, one of the first signs of this was that in first grade, we were going to do a winter puppet show for the parents. Like I said, this was a private school. It was split into grades 1-3 and grades 4-6, so we’re talking like 10 kids here. I was super excited because I have always loved performing. He knew I was super excited. So he cast me as… snowflakes. I had to hold up too snowflakes on sticks and move them around. I was absolutely crushed.
The good part is that as an adult, I’ve been paid to do standup and have done some critically well-received VO work (for some names you would recognize but I’m not going to say, sorry).
So fuck him.
Anyway, not your fault, I just had to let that out.
Back to the fun.
… With cardboard and string.
Thanks. Appreciate the assist
One does not merely turn their child into a door.

In high school, I was in a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (I was act 2 open fairy/Peasblossom) and the absolute best part was the play in a play, Wall spoke her lines and flapped off stage like an enormous bat, funniest part of the whole play.
will at least she’ll finally have the right wing weirdos advocating for her empowerment.
May I direct you to this video?
Let’s go!
Get in there!
I was once a wrapped box (present) in a play.

Where do you see a battle of the sexes? I just see the emphasis placed on the door costume, and the very exaggerated excited tone
*Too many cooks *
In my elementary school play of Cinderella. I was cast as a pile of animated clothes. My role was to lay still and then suddenly spin around like one of those spinning brushes in a carwash and flail off the stage.
Yeah I tripped, knocked a stage light over, and burned everything to the ground. I was the only survivor.
Was called the “Tragic Cinderella Sizzler” by local newspapers.
Are you sure that you’re remembering this right?
I find it hard to believe that the newspaper didn’t come up with a headline based on calling her “Cinders”.
“This play really sparked a fire in us, the whole building really”
To shreds you say?
It’s a school activity, why isn’t the school paying for the materials
Because this is America. I had to buy a history textbook in high school. Good thing we have enough money for a genocide though /s
And why is a school doing a nativity.
I’m Christian and have taken part in dozens of nativity, but none at school.
Many (but not all) private schools in the US are religious. From elementary school through college I attended Catholic affiliated schools. This sort of display would not be allowed at most public schools, and the ones that would allow it would be sued.
Yeah, this isn’t unusual for a religious school.
I remember, as a little girl, playing the part of the angel Gabriel… except I thought the character was named Gabrielle. The only reason I tried for the part was because I thought it was the only explicitly female role, besides Mary (and my unpopular ass wasn’t about to complete for the role of Prima Donna.)
It was a huge let down to find out that Gabriel was yet another male character in the perpetual sausage-fest that is The Holy Bible. Combined with how practically nothing was written about how Jesus would’ve been as a child, I never understood how I was supposed to relate to anything in that book.
Cause funding
Cause funding the military is 50% of our taxes 🤸🤼♀️🤹♂️
The military budget is 36x bigger than NASA.
Mars could be the 51st state if the US were not so war hungry.
Mars colonizing is not really a useful idea, it’s technically somewhat possible but there isn’t a lot to gain from it.
Instead, keeping the earth habitable would be much more useful.
The technology needed to inhabit Mars would 100% benefit the life on earth. Just lookup all the tech we got from the Apollo missions.
I dunno, I see a lot of value in living on a planet with no conservatives
Unfortunately, Elon is spearheading the attempt, and we all know which way he swings…
Yeah, reason #2937 exactly why I support a nationalized NASA rather than the outsourcing of space travel to corporations and capitalism.
Space should be ours, all of ours, not just theirs.
Yes, there are a lot of better things we could be spending the enormous military budget on.
I chose NASA because it’s the closest to military spending while still being peaceful.
In America they make you pay for your child’s own religious indoctrination
I would prefer it that way. Government funded religious indoctrination makes me nervous.
Yeah, about that…
It’s most likely a private school.
“Private school” is what Basic Training should be called.
