Paulo super tres annos, uxorem et signati mea filius pro a aestate actio, The Midland Park Players. This is a drama group that spends about three or four weeks preparing for a play and then showing it to the parents, friends and relatives. It’s always been done very well.
Nescio si cuivis puero hoc, but my son is extremely reluctant to try new things. Knowing this, we signed him up for the program. We’ve found that it’s best to alert him to these kinds of things early and often. Ita, ut naturam ipsam vinceret invitus, nos ei mane et fecit optimum ut sonus fun, etc. Even with a multi-month advertising campaign, he still wasn’t convinced. We forced him to do, licet, et ut est saepe causa, he had a great time.
Tempus per annum secundum volutabatur, he had once again convinced himself that he didn’t want to participate. Sed, nos signati eum et in nulla hodie, I dropped him off one morning at the high school where they practice. When I went to pick him up after lunch, erat ipsum excitatur, omnes rident et nuntiatum, "Est fabula in Velveteen Rabbit and I want to be the Rabbit". He had spent literally months carrying on (aliquando hysterically) Quomodo noluit habere cum dies et justo Players, he wants to be the lead role in the play. We’ve seen this pattern before.
(Nostra admiratio, fecit adepto Rabbit munus et erat miris.)
Fast forward a few years. He’s been in Park Players three times now, so he’s something of a veteran. This summer (2008), Players starts up again. Interea, ipse suus tandem persuasum nobis vere doesn’t want to play soccer and he never liked basketball. That left him with no extra-curricular activities for late Winter / early Spring. A client with whom I was working mentioned that his daughter was in a program called Stage Right. Stage right is a slightly more expensive version of Park Players and it’s not in my town, but adjacent to it. Perfect.
The thing to know about that town is that it’s practically another country in terms of wealth. It has a high-frequency train right to Wall Street and NYC in general. It’s just a wealthy place. One of the on-going family discussion themes is whether we should have moved to that town instead of where we live now. It’s a bigger town, eius scholis offerre magis progressio pro haedos, etc. My wife grew up in that town and her parents live there, sic sunt "aduncum in" despite not living there. I personally grew up in different circumstances in Massachusetts, so I don’t have a lot to say about this during family dinner conversation. This isn’t to say that we aren’t very happy where we live. We just know that that town is a level above our town economically.
Stage Right’s next program started too soon for us to launch our normal advertising campaign to overcome my son’s reluctance. This is when he came up with one my personal favorite arguments against doing something: "Veneris noctibus sunt prima noctes somno overs!" Stage Right was going to interfere with his weekend socials.
Die venit, ferimus, et ibi eum cædere, et cetera, Amor naturalis est vivere sed valere eros et accepit eam cum tempus.
Volutpat vestibulum dixisset praeterita et primum uxorem, I think he’s tailoring his discussions very precisely for his audience. She had asked him how Stage Right compares to Midland Park Players. He tells her that "In Park Players, we have teenagers that help us out. There aren’t any in in Stage Right. In Park Players, teenagers make all props. In Stage Right, we have to bring our own props. We have to do everything. And then he twists the knife: "Ego hanc urbem opulentam ponebatur."
Omnibus annis, I never really thought that he was hearing or understanding anything as it related to the "rich town". Autem, vertit ex erat.
