Audition time

Today I held the second round of auditions for the school talent show.  This round was for all who were somewhat or totally unprepared for the first round - more a second chance than a second round.  What brutal realities.

Common exchange:

• Me: So, are you ready to audition now?
• Student: Yeah.
• Me: You have the music for your song now?
• Student:  No.
• Me: What song are you singing?
• Student:  Hm ... maybe ... um ...
• Me: (Slaps own head.)

Which reminds me of how much we HUMANS want but are unwilling to do for what we want.  At least these kids have the excuse: I'm a kid.  What's my excuse?
