There’s No Living with Her Now…
Posted under Daughters by Mike
I knew this day would come. I’ve imagined it a hundred times. The scenario running through my mind like a bad dream. And now what was once was unreal has become reality.
It struck me as she appeared from back stage to accept her award. Because she was going on stage to perform right after this award she was dressed in costume. She walked up to the presenter received the trophy, smiled to the audience and walked back to the rear of the stage to prepare for her upcoming scene.
I don’t think she had any expectation on winning. She had hoped, but wasn’t really anticipating anything. But there she was standing on the stage before all her peers accepting her award for “Best Comic Actress in a Play.”
You see, my middle daughter is an aspiring “thespian.” No, not a lesbian!
She is developing the fine art of theater on the high school stage. As if there wasn’t enough drama in being a teenager, she’s decided to major in it. This will no doubt lead into a choice of some fine arts liberal college (just shoot me now) where she will probably find herself studying the Paul Newman (or Paul Lynde) drama style. Upon graduating, she’ll pursue the life of the stage while delivering your dinner order.
This was her first major award for theater. There will be many more, I’m sure.
And I’ll have to live with her, and her drama, and her ego.
Congratulations.
Don’t forget your parents when you’re rich and famous….
So, it’s not just me with the ‘up early’ problem – let’s meet for coffee next time.
Congratulations to your daughter! How very exciting! My daughter wants to be a thespian (not lesbian) too, but I haven’t found an avenue for her yet (she’s only 10).
I can’t wait to be able to say, ” You know that girl in (insert name of latest comedy blockbuster)? Well, I (kinda) know her Dad!”.
That’s cool…….wishing her continued success!

Woo hoo! Congratulations to your daughter! My daughter, Marissa is an actress, also. She graduated from St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas.
Congrats on the award. Everytime I hear the word thesbian I think of Jon Lovitz as Master Thesbian on SNL. Your comment about the liberal arts school cracked me up.

Underneath that slightly sarcastic tone, I can see you bursting with pride. And you should be!

Sounds like she’s acting out. It’s probably just a stage she’s going through.

Congrats to your daughter. She might not make a lot of money acting, but at least she has talent.

Thanks everyone! Don’t worry Mike. I’ve already promised you two vacation houses, and I don’t go back on my word.
