Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for June 16, 2018

and no one but the “Cul de Sac” readers is taking notice of Petey’s anxiety about to go off

At least he still has his arm. This is going to be a great performance.

Mom has high hopes.

Well Petey, look at the bright side: … well.. I guess there is no bright side for you in moments like this. Never mind.

Petey is in a dreadful state of doom.

Oh mannnnn, does this bring back memories! not warm fuzzy ones either :o(

Or you could wait outside until it’s his turn. So glad my kids were never in the band or drama club etc.

This should be good for about 6 or 7 Petey Alter-Egos…

The best. Way for Petey to deal with this is to get up there & imitate playing his Oboe; Lovely obnoxious tones!,,

I know how Alice feels. I had an Easter dress once that was made out of flocked organdy. I was six, and I haven’t worn flocked organdy since then :-)

OMG! No, Alice!

Go ahead, Granny!

Petey! Poor, poor, neglected Petey! If you were a decade or more older, I’d offer you “a stiff one” right now….
