How many 6th grade boys would stand in front of the student body, dressed in a Toga, and sing an Elvis ballad to a girl that loathes him? Not too many, but Braden did. What did his teacher offer him? Surely she must have at least offered a bit of extra credit in Social Studies. But, no... the part was by audition.
This year's 6th grade play was an Elvis spoof of four Greek myths entitled "Viva La Greece." Braden played the role of the love stricken Apollo. He favored the beautiful Daphane who had been shot with an arrow of loathing and ran from his advances, finally finding refuge by becoming a tree. Braden played the part perfectly. He not only chased Daphane around on stage declaring his love for her, but he also sang Elvis' Don't Be Cruel. It was great!
Whatever Mrs. Miller has, I need to get a bit of it.
