Too Much Drama

imageOne little boy in my fourth-grade class had to be co-erced into being into the school play, very much against his will, even though he had only one line to deliver. It didn’t make him a bit happier just before our big performance when the teacher reminded us all that we’d be in view of our parents, grandparents, friends, and neighbors.  We had to do our best.  We were all hobbling along pretty well till Bobby was supposed to call out, “Hark! I hear a pistol shot.”    Instead, he shouted, “Hark, I hear a shistol  pot!”  It was a excellent, if erroneous, line.  Realizing his error, he said, “I didn’t want to be in the damn play no how,” and stomped off stage.  He stole the show.
