I love Molly Shannon's character, Mary Katherine on SNL, to say 'Superstar'..lol
Most kids like to dress up and pretend to be a 'Superstar.' The attention, the glamour and attempted talent is fun. It makes you feel bigger than you think you are.
When I was 4, we went to a music show up in Mountain View. Near the end of the show, they asked if anyone in the audience wanted to come up on stage. I asked if I could and my parents said yes. They say I got a lil shy after I got up there. After the show, my dad had to go looking for me. He found me backstage walking up and down the hall. 'What are you doing,' he asked. 'I'm looking for my dressing room!'
Often kids will dress up as their role models...teacher, parent, etc. Be the role model that you'd like to see imitated by your kid.
So funny, Angie! Since I was a young girl, I have always wanted to be able to sing and be a "star". Decided since that wasn't God's plan, my motto would become, "if you can't sing, make 'em laugh." When the Drugstore Cowboys asked me to "do" my rendition of "She's Got You" by Patsy Cline (after I "performed" it at my 45-year class reunion), I thought I had finally "made" it, LOL!! Now, after a few years of "performing", I have decided that my "stage career" came a little late in life, and I am perfectly content to "sing" or "not to sing" (except at church, of course)!! Guess I will never have that dressing room either, and that's okay. Love you girlfriend, Twylia
