After six months of rehearsals for his play, my 14 year old son....
 

He gets up there to do his part and trips and falls flat on his face! Before I could gasp in sheer sympathetic horror, he got up and proceeded like nothing happened at all. In fact, he made it look like part of what he was supposed to do.

I could not be more proud of my boy than I was tonight. I'm absolutely beeming with pride. He just proved what I've been JUST learning to believe myself. That you can fall flat on your face, bounce back and be stronger and greater than ever.

At the intermission he was flocked by literally at least ten middle school girls all trying to get his autograph. He was the star of the show :thumbsup What a fantastic night I had.

He even impressed my seven year old daughter who is usually repulsed by his very existance. lol

Awww. Glad it worked out.
:thumbsup

Other peoples kids are cool :pimp

I was always the kid who fell on his face when getting up on stage. Still am.

Glad it worked out ok! :thumbsup

:thumbsup :thumbsup
thats so cool!!
I've been thinking about maybe having one of those little people, your story makes me think maybe it wouldn't be so bad...

hahhaha :)

That is awesome...good for him :thumbsup

haha, sounds really cute. Goes to show not even an embarrassing moment can hold you down!

What a professional! :thumbsup

Good for him :thumbsup

That is awesome! GREAT for him!

Shit... in his place, I'd have pissed myself, ran off stage and transferred schools.

Pretty awesome of him!

Glad it worked out and that he's ok.

Right on :thumbsup



Mike...........

Good for him. I just hope that he learned something from it.

What a stud! :thumbsup

Damn good job! Maybe we'll see him on the big screen someday.

he has the acting gene in him

the show must go on

that is great, tell the little guy that we all said he was great and congrats

the show must go on

what part did he have ?

wow - your words really touched me. I think thats awesome how you love your kids so much and how proud you are of them. You sound like a great parent. I can only hope one day I can have the same pride. :)

Cute story! Thanks for making me smile :)

awww that's awesome :)

That's so awesome! Isn't it great when we, as parents, can sit back and see what wonderful little humans they're turning out to be? :)

Kool it worked out. :thumbsup

Sounds like he done pretty good.

GREAT POST!! congrats to him!

Well there was nothing "cute" about it. You should have heard the echoing of the stage. He's 6 feet tall and has size 13 1/2 shoes. hahaha

Thanks for all the nice comments guys :)

That's very cool. I probably would have cried and moved to another state because I am not as suave lol. Cute story :) Move over Brad Pitt...

14??? You told me you were 26 in Vegas.

For Halloween one year my son went as Robinhood. He wore the hat, the "dress" and the stockings etc. Well, he went to the daycare in the morning, and then the daycare walked him over to the school. We were never given an explanation as to WHY, but the daycare worker took off my sons "dress" and sent him to school in a t-shirt and brown tights.
Well, they paraded the little kids around the school for everyone to see, and even filmed it. My poor little son walking around in nothing but panty hose with his undies showing right through.
We still laugh about what happened. Explaining to the school why he ended up half clothed I left to the daycare.

right on RRRED!!! i had no idea you even had kids...

Thanks for sharing RRRED... :)

Awe, that's great Nicole! I'm glad you learned a lesson from him aswell...and very cute re your daughter I had a chuckle at that!

congrats

14 years old and he's already got groupies? NICE!! :thumbsup

moments in time you will remebr forever ..glad to hear he did a great job...Next stop...hollywood !! :thumbsup

now if she can get him to stop wearing pantyhose and lipstick she just might get this parenting thing all worked out.

Amen to that.


j-

haha... I'm still trying to get over the fact that YOU have a 14 year old son!

That story just goes to show that we have as much (or more) to learn from our kids as they do from us. :thumbsup
