The reader's digest version

My son is really low key about his activities. This morning I was reading through the end of school activities, and "dramafest" was mentioned. I asked Ev if he was interested, and he said, "yeah, I kinda am. They're producing the play I wrote and I want to see what they did."

"...Producing the play you wrote?"

"More of a monologue really. There's a drama 2 student is directing it."

"You have a play being directed?"

"I submitted it as part of my play writing class. I think they picked ten or so."

"Out of how many?"

"30? 33? I guess."

So a we're going to go see evan's monologue produced next week. Lucky I mentioned the dramafest to him, or I wouldn't have known that my kid -- who has orthographic dysgraphia and cannot write by hand so anyone can read it -- had a play selected for production.

You know, I wish he were a little less low key about his success.
