Lesson 12: I am once again an old woman in a performance

I haven't been in all of the musicals offered while in high school. Freshman year I was going to be away during the performance and sophomore year I failed at the dancing auditions, so I didn't get in. Junior year I did though (yay Guys and Dolls!) and this year I am too (probably because I'm a Senior and we are special). That's not the point though, the point/lesson would be that Thursday we were doing dancing for the rehearsal (2 hours of it too, that was fun) and we just did the "Wells Fargo Wagon" because the musical is The Music Man and there are 11 solos. One of the solos is "And I expect a new rockin' chair" and our dance instructor (I'm going to stick with that because I can't spell the other word) said that it's going to be an old lady. At once a group of people looked at me. Why? Because if there's an open old lady role I tend to get it. I was the old lady last year, the Mother in my Elementary/Middle school's Hansel and Gretel, Lady What's-Her-Face in The King And I (You know, the mother of the Prince, I can't spell it). And there's more. 

Not that I'm complaining, I mean I'd rather be the old lady than not have a line thing at all. It's just funny.

Guess I'm brimming with maturity, it's soooo type casting.
