Distracted Dad
The show is starting! But wait—everyone’s heads are blocking the view! Can we please put those devices down? Just enjoy the performance! Oh, there’s my child! Just a few photos—let me grab a quick video—oh wait, that’s not my kid! (Sits back down, looking at his phone in disbelief.) -
Overzealous Mom
Oh, they’re handing my little star a microphone! This is going to be epic! She talks non-stop—morning, noon, and night. I can’t wait to see her shine! Oh, she’s frozen in fear! Come on, kiddo! Speak! Are you serious right now? -
Optimistic Parent
This is going to be adorable! I just love watching kids perform! Well, this is… something. They’re certainly trying their best! Hour two already? Okay, shifting in my seat. Is it almost over? -
Critical Mom
Really? That’s the lead? I can’t believe it! And the dancing? Yikes! My child is going to outshine them all! Oh, there he is—Byron! Stand up! What are you doing? Stop licking your costume! No, don’t pull that down! -
Business-Minded Mom
I could probably sell a technique to the FBI called “Three Hours of Preschool Musical Torture.” Believe me, no one would survive that. Those poor suspects wouldn’t stand a chance! -
Memory Keeper Mom
Oh, I’d love a program for this performance! My child’s name is in here! (Holds it tightly.) After the show, I’ll keep it safe in his memory box at home. Fast forward a few months—where’s that program? Lost under snack wrappers and who-knows-what. Mental note: keep a better eye on the next one! -
Uncomfortable Dad
Oh no, I shouldn’t have eaten that ice cream! My stomach is in knots. If I let one rip, everyone will hear me! Please, someone on stage, make a loud noise! -
Stamina Mom
I’m thrilled my daughter is in “Annie” as Background Orphan #9! But five performances? If I hear “The Sun’ll Come Up Tomorrow” again, I might just lose my lunch! Can we mix up the leads? It’s the same show every time! -
Proud Parent
Costume costs—$38. Dance lessons—$65. Watching my 5-year-old perform a chaotic twirl that knocks over her peers—priceless! -
Impressed Mom
Wow, look at all this talent on stage! That kid on the right has a bright future in singing! Oh, and that one in the middle? Broadway star for sure! Oh wait—oh no, that’s my child!
