On Play School Concerts

Picture this:

 

Two girls, sitting cross-legged on the floor, very near the front row of a Play School concert. The show starts and one excitedly nudges the other one, "Look look, it's Angela, I love Angela." Then David comes out. More excited nudging, "Oh, look, it's David, he's my favourite." The two girls happily sing the Play School song together with big stupid grins on their faces. Then Angela goes over to one of the big boxes on the stage and says, "I wonder who could be in this box?". One girl turns to the other and barely manages to keep her voice to a whisper, "It's Big Ted! It's Big Ted!" the other girl sadly shakes her head and says, "No, Big Ted is gone, they've got Morris now."  The two girls look a little forlorn for a second or two, until, out of the box comes Big Ted afterall. All is well in the world. They know all the words to 'Rock-a-bye your Bear'. Then out of the next big box comes Humpty! They sing Humpty Dumpty and await eagerly to see who's going to come out of the next big box.  It's Jemima! Oh, these girls are having the time of their life. They sing along with 'Miss Polly Had a Dolly' and then sit forward in anticipation of the next toy to come out of the last big box. It's Fergus the Frog!  Oh goodness, the girls are grabbing at each other, they're so excited they're beside themselves. "I hope they're gonna sing 'Daglumph Goes The Little Green Frog', that's my favourite song," they're almost squealing.

 

You're picturing a couple of three or four year old kids huh? Nope. What we have here is my sister and I at a Play School concert.
