hey kiddo
mom told me you’re coming home this weekend?
hey dad
yeah
oh amazing!
i have so much to tell you about drama club
actually, that reminds me
We’ve chosen a winner for this year’s fall production
it’s amazing. you’re gonna love it
thought i’d tell you before the internet did
too late 😅
oh shoot
my feed is full theater kids pretending this is a second coming of shakespeare lol
that bad?
One girl posted "Paper Crowns altered my brain chemistry”
Haha well, the script is very good
but you know how dramatic highschoolers get
thespians especially 😂
you encouraged that profesionally lol
Occupational hazard 😅
but did you really liked it?
I did
and you’d love it too- I’ll send you a soft copy
eh. not really interested
since when? 👀
what is it even about
Identity mostly. Performance. Students becoming versions of themselves people expect
sounds suspiciously pretentious 😬
hahaha i promise you, it’s not
you’ll understand when you read it
hmm maybe
So is Emma your little writing genius now?
honey, where is this coming from?
are you okay?
yes, i’m fine
just
did you even read mine?
sweetie
I did
and like I said, it was amazing
it really came down to a few points from the rest of the team
and Emma is a graduating student
so that’s also something we had to lean into
right
that’s never been in the rules before
i mean, alums used to have chance too
they do. you do, Jen
but Emma had continously proven herself since the beginning of the school year
and having this production would give her a great recommendation for university
just like you did when you graduated
right
yeah whatever
don’t be like that, Jen
I promise you, we all gave every script a shot
it all came down to which will give us a great production for this year
you really should read the script
…maybe
i have a class
i should get going
okay sweetie
we’ll talk when you get back, yeah?
i’ll need some extra hands managing this
yeah yeah
see you dad
see you honey
goodluck on your classes
Then…
I can’t believe it
Is this actually real?
Yes, Emma
Congratulations
ahhh
i don’t even know what to say 😅
you earned it
still kinda convinced everybody's pranking me 😅
that would require drama club students being organized 😂
LMAO fair point
Thanks again, Mr. Thompson
really
it’s not just me
and you should be proud of yourself
that was a really good script
that means a lot coming from you 🥹
hey. your writing connected with people and that’s saying a lot
i think people just projected onto it honestly
that’s what good writing does, no?
i guess haha but mr davis said sophie's monologue was "too cynical” 😬
that usually means it was honest
see THIS is why everybody thinks you secretly love my script more than life itself 😂
they say that?
you literally defended act 3 for twenty minutes 😅
act 3 deserved defending 🤷🏻
😭
tomorrow we start revisions
already??
opening night comes faster than you think
lawddd have mercy 😩
haha ever so dramatic
well, I am a thespian 😋
true
go and celebrate
you deserve it, emma
then rest
will do, prof 😉
thank you so much again
i’m nervous but i’m so excited
me too. i’m excited for you
you’re gonna do great
ugh enough, i might end up disappointing you 😅
you won’t
you have been doing amazing since you started my class
the only difference now is you’re in charge
with no annoying alumnis to micromanaging you 👀
oh my god, you heard that? 😭
i was just annoyed haha
Hey, if there’s one thing I’m very familiar with, it’s that doing plays can be very cut throat
so i get it
but try not to rant in the theater next time
you know that sound carries 😂
plss i know that 🙈
i was just so annoyed that i forgot haha
but noted
good
congratulations, emma
you deserve this 😊
Thank you Mr. T 🥹
The next day….
hey sweetie
Do you need me to come get you at the airport tomorrow?
if you’re not busy
well, i can spare some time for my daughter
wow that’s huge
what do you mean? 😅
it’s theater season
you’re usually an absent parent at this time
HEY i am not!
hahaha i’m kidding, dad 😂
not very funny
it is 🤪
anyway
actually, you don’t need to
Mom already texted and said she’ll come get me
wow, you wound me
doesn’t wanna spend car time with her old man anymore
how the times have changed
🙄
and here I was thinking only the students you teach are the dramatic ones
hey, I taught you
exactly dad
but yes, i don’t want
because you didn’t even choose my play 🤔😛
Jenna…
hahaha im joking
are you?
duh i’m over it
you can still make your play, you know
you don’t need a highschool production, honey
you’re very talented
oh I know 😝
talented
gorgeous
sexy
amazing
overall goddess
okay here we go
hahaha it’s true though
sure honey
what, you don’t think so?
you created me
you know what? yes
to all that
just like your dad
sexy
smart
gorgeous 💅🏽
okay, i take it back now
hahaha i’m excited to see you, sweetie
i’m glad you decided to come home
that exam week was brutal
i need my bed to recover 😅
only your bed?
not your amazing parents who brought you into this world?
just my bed
oh you little shit 😂
HAHAHA
i’m going out with meg tonight
oh why don’t you ask her to come with?
