Life: Idiotropic

These are the phrases that we heard repeated several times in the opening scene of the year 5 rainforest play today.  I've heard them for weeks actually as the lines seem quite catchy and until now I had no idea really why my nine year old daughter would be talking about whisky and beer.  Hardly seems appropriate, but today, in front of my eyes, I saw two 9-year old "businessman" sitting in a bar ordering around a little bar maid who brought whisky and beer to all the gauchos and other "men" who would cut down the trees in the rainforest.  It was strange.  I get the point, but really?  Nine year old kids.  Seems that those lines could have been changed or left out all together.

But, the highlight for me is always my girl, whichever girl that would be at the moment and today's moment belonged to Arianna who's had a tough year so far, but delivered her lines well and had more lines than anyone else in the play.  I'm so proud of her.  

Here are a couple video snippets.  The macaws spoke several times during the play and I am video inept so missed the first couple times that Arianna spoke.
