Delaney's class has been studying the California Gold Rush for the past few weeks. Their studies will culminate in the evening performance of a musical loosely based on the book The Great Horn Spoon.
Imagine my pride and joy when she announced to me the name of the character she'll be playing:
"Mom, I'm 'Saloon Girl #1'!"
"Oh, that's...great, honey."
(Another girl got the part of 'Mail Order Bride'.)
I scanned the script quite carefully and was pleased to see that her character's name was the only thing that caused me to raise an eyebrow.
God bless the Naive...

Ha! Regardless of the "status", why couldn't she play "Sacagawea" or "Florence Nightingale". Who chose the Gold Rush Days theme with its town full of lost, misguided souls?

I think she will make a great saloon girl #1 and I especially like the #1 part. I look forward to hearing her sing some rousing western jingles as she shakes her flirty skirt. Be sure to invite me to the performance. And remember, California (like Australia) was built upon the lost, misguided souls of yesteryear. Many lost souls end up getting found, given enough time.
