Kinda on Topic
I have a feeling that I am in for a good Christmas surprise this year when I go to see my two youngest kids appear in their nursery play. I have received the cast list and found out that my daughter (the killer tree from an earlier QOTW post regarding plays) has got a singing part as Angel Gabriel- the problem is she keeps mispronouncing the lyrics so it sounds like the angels are lice infested.

The main point of fun though is that my youngest J has been cast as a sheep with the head shepherd being played by a kid that doesn’t get on with my youngest. The last rehearsal they had ended when the head shepherd hit a few of the sheep playing kids (Including my son) with his crook. This ended in a full on brawl with a pissed off flock of sheep turning on their cruel masters.

Unless there is a cast change soon I can see lice infested angels and Bethlehem being levelled in a fluffy rampage on the big night.

Your daughter is the Angel Gabriel?
Is it a panto or is she into cross-dressing?

aren't angels supposed to be androgynous
so it doesn't matter what sex of young child plays them?

I don't know
I gave up on religion half a lifetime ago. But I'm sure I remember Gabriel being a him. Like Michael.

I was just being a pedant really. I'm bored

"a pissed off flock of sheep turning on their cruel masters"
A sheep farmer's recurring nightmare; I imagine something like the Russian revolution. It only takes one sheep to show some initiative in throwing off the shackles of agrarian oppression. After that, the rest will just follow him. Shepherds must be acutely aware of how close they are to woolly death.

They need 'Arold, that most dangerous of creatures: a clever sheep.
