The Play

My sister and I have just completed the third performance of a play were in titled The Complete History of the Old Testament in Twenty Minutes. As is obvious, it is a short play and I have enjoyed it to a slight degree. How I became involved in this project is a long story. It began when Mrs. Newcomer announced in our geography class that she would be directing a play. She asked if I wanted to be in it and I said no. After much pleading, urging, and threatening, from my classmates I still said no and the play continued without me. Yet after the first practice Mrs. Newcomer asked one more time and I relented. She told me all I had to do was be the voice for God, I decided I could handle that. Fifteen minutes later I was told instead of being God I was Solomon, now I actually had to be in front of people (oh boy!). The next day I had the following conversation

Michaela: Oh, by the way, now your also Cain.

Me: Cain?

Michaela: You know, in the play.

Me: What?!?!

Michaela: It's not that bad you don't have to say anything

Me: But I'll just get more and more parts in this play, and I don't even want to do it!

Michaela: Well it's probably good for you. (how's that for a compassionate sister?) Besides you get to stab Jacob!

I'm still not ecstatic about the play, but it's not too bad, and stabbing Jacob is fun.
