Re:Soulja Boy Will Never be the Same
A few thoughts from this morning’s skit:
First, while I wholeheartedly respect the need to protect UP Elementary’s campus, and allowing access to the school building via one door is obviously a necessity, but it would be great if there was a sign pointing to the direction of the office where you have to go to sign in, it would be very helpful.
Second, moms, the show was very funny and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, but when do the fourth graders get to be in the spotlight? When I was in fourth grade, actually all of elementary school, we had short little plays that we all participated in. Do the kids have to grow up and be fourth grade moms before they get to be in the UP Elem. skit?
How come Merritt was the only mom is her scene not wearing shorts?
While I loved the guy doing the Hans and Franz impersonation, I’m not sure today’s fourth graders, which by my estimations are about 10, so born in 1998, get the reference to a sketch that was done on SNL in 1988.
All that being said, it was a fun event, and I really enjoyed it.
Concerning the shorts: I didn’t know that basketball shorts were the official uniform. I was under the impression that the Camp Write Along t-shirt, wig, 4 foot pencil and shades were the required items. As it turns out, it was a coincidence. The part you didn’t notice was I was the only one stomping out the routine without shoes- I wore flip flops!
3rd grade is when they are in the play at UP
so no worries they don’t have to wait to grow up and be a 4th grade mom to perform
The fourth-graders, or at least my fourth-grader, will be in a play next week, at Hyer. It seems like they should do a parody of the parents’ skit.
I’m glad to hear kids in the Park Cities have a chance to be on stage, thanks!
