We were in primary school still. In year 4 or 5. It was a few months before the end of the school year. It was lovely and sunny outside. It was opening day for our play that year. Kelly was an extra like me. We turned up early to get dressed and to put our make up on. Or at least thats what we were meant to be doing. Everyone was having their faces painted orange. Kelly was sat in a chair getting as she called it, her tangoed face on. 3 times it took to get it just right as she couldnt stop laughing at everyone singing and dancing. When it was time to go on stage, everyone was so nervous, kelly decided that she was going to use the stick from the tipee as a horse and gallop around the back stage. Every one laughed and relaxed afterwards. It was one of our best nights of that play.
