Today we saw a high school theatrical performance of The Wiz, a spunky take on The Wizard of Oz. I was a little worried that Nicholas wouldn't like the fact that they changed up some minor details of one of his favorite stories but no problem. He loved it.
Nicholas loved sitting next to his friend but the two of them had quite a lot of "discussion" about who the arm rest belonged to. Finally they decided to share it.
At one point in the performance, the lion mentioned that he has an owl friend. Nicholas decided that he needed to discuss this further with his friend. Here's what he said..."I know about owls. They can hunt for food at night. And I know another animal that hunts for food at night! Do you know? It's a bat! Bats can find food in the dark by using echo-location!" I was proud of him for being so excited about his animal knowledge but I had to quiet him down because he was starting to talk louder and louder as he got more excited!
The wizard was questioning why Dorothy would want to go to Kansas. He said, "I can understand why you might want to go to Bora Bora or the Bahamas or even to Flower Mound. But why Kansas?" Nicholas got excited again and said to me, "Hey, that's where I live! I live in Flower Mound, Texas!"
Nicholas also had to comment on the wicked witch as she told someone to "Shut Up!". He turned to me and said, "Shut up isn't nice!"
We had a great time at the performance. We're hoping to go see Beauty and the Beast at Slappy's Playhouse tomorrow morning. However, it will depend on the weather. The forecast says that there will be freezing rain. Ick!
