High School Children's Play

Last spring Jesse was chosen to direct this years Children’s Play at the high school. This is the only show that a student gets to totally direct. He has been a student director for shows in past years, but for this show, being the director means basically doing the show themselves. Mr. Jacobs acts in a supervisory position, but the director will do the following…
Choose the show
Choose and assistant director
Make all casting decisions (with the input of the asst director)
Design the set
Choose the crew
Oversee all the little things, publicity, program, etc….

Now, even though I was REALLY proud that Jesse was chosen for this job, this is what REALLY got me…



Guess who he chose for his assistant director?





His sister.

Sometimes you can know too much...

Yesterday while Jesse and I were working in the yard, Rufio cut his tongue on a piece of glass. Blood covered his mouth and matted his hair, but it was not too bad.

Jesse was really concerned. I said. "You know Jesse, dogs get cuts all the time and heal just fine."

He replied, concern on his face, "Dad, the Eskimos put seal meat on a sharp knife blade and leave it out for polar bears. When the bear eats the meat, it cuts off his tongue, and ten hours later the bear bleeds to death."

Like I always say, too much knowledge will not allow you to sleep at night!

Update: Rufio is still alive.
