cross your fingers for me

Over at Forgotten Bookmarks there is a giveaway today. It is a book about composers with some pastel colored plates. The real treat is the old photograph found inside of it comes along with the prize book. A simple shot. Mother and child. But it is sweet. There is another reason I would love to win it. The following is my entry. Keep in mind, the only requirement is to leave a comment. Any comment. But this one was too perfect not to pass along...

Unmoderated, your timing is perfect! My 10 year old's class is doing a play about great composers! I am always up for some Bangsian humor so I read the script. The premise being that an assembly of the all-time-greats has been called to iron out some minor detail. Not much driving the plot and even my 6 year old can see that this is just a contrivance to make kids learn about dead guys. My son has a very minor role but his friend Jack...Jack is the backup Schubert. You know, in case the winning Schubert is unable to fulfill his duties that go with the title. So if the actual Schubert gets Strep throat, Jack's the man! Also...the kids are wearing white wigs made of expanded tampons glued to hats. The first kid to figure it out will lead the mutiny. Cross your fingers it's Schubert. You know, for Jack's sake.
