This is going to be exciting.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
So what are you doing? Like, what's your character? I'm
an elephant? Yeah, okay, I actually know, uncle Shane, I'm
not an elephant on the back end of an elephant.
He's playing the art center of an elephant in the
school play. I mean, no speaking, l just playing the button.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
How did you put a positive spin on that for
the little fellow?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I really didn't. I remember saying, oh, that's a shame.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
It's a shame.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
You can get anything better. So the art end of
an elephant, that's his character in the school play.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
How disappointment I remember. I mean I never did school
players in high school, but in primary school I was
the Christmas tree ones.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Okay, what did you say? Iss?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
No, I was the tallest kid in school I think,
And eventually it involved my mum wrapping me so tightly
in green tissue paper and then just cello taping a
sticky taping bables on me. And then the other time
I was the Easter Bunny and Mum again made some
ears for me, and I remember having she made like
(02:04):
a big pompom, a white pompom for my tail, and
I couldn't sit down the whole time, and I just
had to jump hip fitty hop, hop, hip fitty hop,
look at the bunnigu. I remember all that, but there
was no speaking in any of those.
