Back to Stories Have you ever been in a show when something went wrong? What happened? How did you deal with it?
When I was 5 years old my class and I had to do a play but the teacher had to say a speech before we sang but instead all of the kids started singing before she said the speech.

Once in a talent show I was going to say the word, tail, but instead I said the word, honey.

-Diana, age 9

 
Once I was in a ballet recital and the music stopped and we all bumped into each other!

-Sarah, age 8

 
Well, our play was Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Everything wase going okay except when "Violet" was supposed to be puffed up like a blueberry but instead of blue we had to use green becuse we acidentally only bought green paint!

One time in 6th grade, we had a christmas party. I got up to get some napkins for me and my friends and when I came back I sat down in my cake. Someone had put it in my seat as a joke. I still don't know who did it. I had to walk around all day with remnants of cake and icing on the back of my pants. All year, my nickname was "cakebutt"

Once I was at the play and my class did everything wrong including me. But we learn from our own mistakes.
