The Normies
Ah, the variety show. They say a picture speaks a thousand words, but who are 'they' anyway? Hmmm... more on that later. Well, I don't really know what to say. Shocking isn't it? I guess I'll tell you about the Happy Birthday routine at the end of the 'Normies' (sp?)
At the end of my family singing 'Lord of All' Sarah, Kara, Ang, Carrisa and I rushed downstairs to the 'dressing room' and did a presto-chango act into blue tops and khaki skirts. Up flew our hair into pig tails, and up twirled the curling ribbon. We gathered hats and chairs then danced up the stairs to await the 'curly-q' debut! We weren't sure what Mr. Katterjohn was talking about when he announced the act that sounded the most like food... 'the Corny-Ham's'. But in we went, to cheers and whistles. We summoned Hannah, Amanda, Kate, Adam and Ted to the front and sat them in their special seats. We recited a poem to each of them, then sang Happy Birthday (in four part harmony!) It was absolutely lovely. Here are the poems...
Carrisa:
Hannah’s so sweet, and though she’s petite,
if you see her compete she is quite the athlete.
Kara:
Amanda plays the violin so well, everyone who hears agrees she’s swell. And though she’s mischievous, underneath she’s quite a genius.
Sarah:
Kate seems so shy, we can’t figure out why... Because once you get to know her [Abby interrupted] She can talk the hind leg off a mule!
Ang: (to Adam)
While his mad science is atomic, his taste in clothing is quite economic.
Your hair has no prayer, it’s going with the tide.
But if you had a comb, it might be dignified.
Abby: (to Ted)
When your computer has died you might get outside. But instead of hurdles that throw out your back, just have Adam give you a piggy back.
We know you’re the kind of guy who can only buy from R.E.I.
Because if it was generic, you might get hysteric.
---Happy Birthday to You---
So read on - if you dare!
You dared to read on! Here are a few more pics! :)
