Okay, I know that there are a lot of first graders who wouldn't have cared one bit. And there, sticking out of my navy blue pants, was this big fat wad of underwear all bunched up in my zipper.Īll I could think of was how stupid I must have looked on stage in front of all those people! How can you look like a big singing star with a bunch of underwear hanging out of your pants? But instead, she leaned over and whispered, "Charles, your zipper was down." I closed my eyes and got ready for one of her big fat kisses. My mother looks like she wants my autograph or something!Īs soon as she spotted me, Mom ran over and bent down beside me. I must have been even better than I thought. I could tell she was pretty excited about my performance. She was walking so fast, my father couldn't keep up with her. Pretty soon, I saw my mother hurrying in the door. She only gets paid to keep you calm during the day. The teacher tells you to calm down, but at night she doesn't really care. You always get to horse around with the other kids until your parents come pick you up. I love going back to the room after a school program. Even while we were walking back to the room, I was still bowing. I must have bowed about two hundred times. When it was all over, the audience started clapping like crazy.
I even used my hands the way the singers on television do. And since I was a very short first grader, I got to stand in the front row where everyone could see me.īoy, I really thought I was hot stuff, too. For example, no matter how old I get, I'll never forget the first time I was in a school program. THERE ARE certain things that happen to you that you never forget.
