But she was, you know, she was a broad.
Was that your first play? No. What was your first play?
This was my first play, this one.
The chest hair one.

so you would think that I would have full body hair.
But just, this is how we...
That was an otter?
This is an otter in Wind in the Willows.

It's a signature move. Exactly, yeah.
But that was your, you were an otter, and what was the play?
In Wind in the Willows.
Oh, and that was your very first play?

Well, it was a Thanksgiving play, as you might guess.
Okay. And Perky was a...
And it was all fifth graders,
and there was a part for a first grader,
and I think my first grader was a fourth grader,
or my first grade teacher put me in the play
because, well, you know.
You just wanted to...
I've just always been this way.
You're like, I'm a star.
So she was like, get her out of the classroom.
So it took me out of the classroom pretty frequently,
which was great for everybody.

I played Susie Bell Hanks.
Yes, of course. Of course.

Everyone gets Perky on the way out.
