"How did Nutcracker rehearsal go?"
[Jungle Boy] "OK"
[Drama Girl] "He got another part."
"Did you get another part? Really?"
"Grunt"
"[Drama Girl] "It's another soldier part I think."
"Can you tell me about it Jungle Boy?"
"Grunt"
"Congratulations anyway. Tell me when you're ready."

[Jungle Boy] "Can we watch 'Happy Feet?'"
"You haven't watched that in a long time. Sure. TV turnoff week is over."
"Mom?"
"Yes"
"I got another understudy part. The head soldier. I come out first. And I get to shoot the mouse! And all the soldiers have to salute me!"
"That sounds so cool. I'm glad you're enjoying it."
And later it hit me - Happy Feet. A story about a misunderstood kid who just loves to dance.
