Nothing on Child Dawkins for ages...then 3 come along at once.
Which means we are due one more, but this is a good one and she'll have to go some way to beat this.
Sacramental programme is in full swing, and they've just cast for a Reconciliation play. Means nothing to me, raised as a CofE kid, but Neet assures me it's a big deal.
After the misery of being cast as a Christmas tree in the Nativity, Child Dawkins hoped for better.
She came flying in, indignant.
"Who are you playing then?"
"JESUS!"
At this point her Catholic father brims over with pride, but her mother perceives this ain't the deal it seems.
"Isn't that good?" (mother dons tin hat, and retreats to safe distance)
"NO! I only get two lines! Bethany, who is a pig*, gets one line. And Katy, who can't even read, gets a whole paragraph!"
Oh dear. She's learn the highlighter to the script trick.
Later, when she'd calmed down a bit, she explained that apparently, she will be doing more acting than speaking. But this child knows how to use words, and she wasn't afraid of a page full of them.
* I wasn't sure if Bethany was a pig of a child, or a child playing a pig. She's playing a pig.

hang on, where is there a pig in the story of baby Jesus? I'm not an expert or nothing but I think Child Dawkins was expressing an opinion on her fellow cast member, not the part.
tell her to steal scenes - Jesus is SUPPOSED to miraculously produce a saxophone and perform the holy hot jazz.
Apparently, Bethany is playing a pig. I, too, am baffled.
CD will LOVE the saxophone idea, but I'm too scared to suggest it, as we communicate through her mother.
