There is a casting studio across the street from my work, so occasionally I will see a steady stream of haggard, nervous, and all alike people on their way to auditions. I like to wonder what the casting called for.
Today there was a steady stream of wide-eyed, done-up five-year-old girls, hopefully carrying their head shots with worried Mom gripping their little hands as they were dragged through the crosswalk.
The part was for selfish asshole parent, and everyone got the part.
Parents! Can’t live with them, Can’t live without them. Saving Grace? Hopefully we all grow up and maybe a parent can be a friend (rather then fiend).
