Tryouts for the Easter Parade

It’s Cowabelle.

I cannot believe what just happened. You know how I was trying out to be the Queen of the Easter Parade? Okay, nothing against Molly. I mean, she’s got that whole shouting thing down and all. But I have been practicing and practicing to play the role of the Queen and I really thought that I would do an awesome job! Oh – and I know Stoogles wanted to be King. I’m sure he’d be great but I swear – I was born to play this part!

Anyway, we were all doing our tryouts today. Molly had to bring Millie along because her mom had an emergency at work and had to deal with it. Molly and Stoogles had already auditioned, and I was right in the middle of doing this awesome spring dance that I had prepared, when I noticed that the judges weren’t even really paying attention. They were all looking at something over my shoulder. So I turn around and there is Millie, carrying a basket full of plastic eggs, twirling around and tossing eggs to everybody. The judges were laughing their heads off. Okay, people, I get it. Sure, Millie is adorable but we are trying to hold an audition here! Eyes on the prize!

But do you know what happened next? Ms. Birdy stands up before I even finished my dance number and announces that she thinks we have found our Queen. At first I was pretty pumped until I realized she wasn’t talking about me. She was talking about Millie! Millie is going to be Queen of the Easter Parade! She is like FOUR or something! She is clearly not ready for a responsibility like this! What are the judges thinking?
