Holy crap. How much can elementary kids come up with when this day comes up? All I heard were jokes and lies about people either dying, riding unicorns, or even one 2nd grader comes up to me and says, “Guess who I saw today?” and my response was initially a thought to myself “if I ignore him and keep walking, maybe he will go away.” That did not happen how I wanted it to. Infact the kid runs up in front of me tugging on my pants and screams this time “GUESS WHO I SAW TODAY?!?!?” with eyes bulging out of his face, and I respond with, “Barack Obama”, and the boy says, “I SAW DARTH VADER and YOU LOOK LIKE HIM!!” and I responded with silence….puzzled and wondering what I need to do to get away from this psycho as fast as possible, and then the boy yells loud enough for the entire neighborhoodz0r to hear, “APRIL FOOLS”. I looked at him and I said, “haha…guess what….you almost had it right, I’m Darth Sidious..” he looks at me jaw dropped and says “are you really him?” which I followed up with..”No.” and walked away.
This was my face at the end of the day:
It’s all good, but I definitely thought of the high school students that I’ve regularly had the pleasure of working with and it nearly brought tears to my eyes to think, “Just a few weeks ago I was helping students learn about the inner chord structures and progressions found within the piece “Witch and the Saint” and now fast forward and what am I doing? ‘Old McDonald had a Farm”, which if I had it my way would be entitled “Old McDonald had enough of hearing kids sound like fart playing his song so he left the friggin’ barn”
No matter what happens to me during the day good or bad, seeing this picture will always bring out a laugh:

“…the friggin’ barn.”
Still cracking up.

One of my actors told me he was too sick to rehearse. He was hyperventilating and I figured “yep, he’s just a bad actor trying to pull a fast one by me.” So I told him that he could miss rehearsal and I would just permanently replace him. He then proceeded to collapse. Turns out he’s actually a good actor, but his natural responses are unnatural and over the top. Bad day to really be sick. Oops.
Yeah… I have a policy of telling kids “no” the first time they ask to go to the bathroom.
I only regretted it once… when I had a puddle in a chair after a kindergarten class.
