Dropping the boys off for school, I wished my Third Grader Sam well in that afternoon’s school musical.  He was to play a swordfish in the story, which highlights how each fish is different and special in their own way.

My First Grader Ben, who had previewed the show’s dress rehearsal, overheard my encouragement and offered the following unsolicited review.  “That play stinks.”

I’m still not sure if Sam has a future in theater, but his little brother certainly shows promise as a critic.
