Double-tied at the Tracks

Our 4th-grader recently took part in a play put on by her and her classmates: "Double-tied at the Tracks."

It included all the elements of a blockbuster: a conniving villain with an evil plot,

valiant and noble good guys willing to defend the law and hunt down the bad guys,

an eventual confession of true love,

and a proposal with a promise of "happily ever after." It was well-performed and very entertaining! Our daughter told me afterward that had she known her character would be proposed to, she wouldn't have sought out that part. "That was so embarrassing, Mom! I had to hold his hand!" She played a beautiful "Sophie!" And we are so proud of her.
