Stranded at Peter Pan

This weekend we went to NOLA to visit the family. Saturday evening my cousin's 7 year old was a lost boy in Peter Pan. Grace really wanted to go, but Mommy was too tired from staying out late the night before (Mother of the Year). My cousin said that she could go with them and she would bring Grace home after the play. Perfect!

They get home from the play and we hear all about Kora's make-up, Capt. Hook, the crocodile, etc. To say the least, I had one very excited 4 year old. She runs in the other room to play and then we hear the REAL story from my cousin.

1.  Grace knew that Capt. Hook and the crocodile were real. She didn't like them one bit.

2. Wendy's make-up was beautiful, but Kora's was ugly. It was just dirt.

3. Grace wanted to know why she couldn't get on stage and fly like Peter Pan and Wendy.

4. As soon as Kora came on stage, Grace (while standing and waving her arms like she's flagging down a rescue plane):

"Kora! KORA! KOORRRAAAA!!!!  It's Grace, your cousin! I'm right here, KORA!"

 

Safe to say, my child successfully managed to upstage the entire cast of Peter Pan.
