Weblogs: If you can't act, behave!

(via Worship Naked, a drama camp director presents a rundown of the types of drama brought on by kids and parents -- implying, of course, that kids learn their bad or good behavior from their parents)

"Finally, perhaps best of all, there?s always the Kid With Grace, the truly talented one who didn?t get the part she?d hoped for, because, much as you?d like, you can?t give every kid the lead, can?t make every theatre dream come true. So where can one find this Kid With Grace? Well, she?s the one on the phone with me now, listening as I offer her her choice of two other parts, neither the part, but still oh-so-important. And she?s the one hiding her disappointment with a poise belying her tender years. And she?s the one who breaks your heart when, again, you ask which part she prefers and she says, 'Well, which choice would make it easier for you to do the best possible show? That?s the part I want.'

Come to think of it, dread is not the right word. Not the right word at all."
