There is a casting studio on the ground floor of my office building. Sometimes they cast pirates and I find myself wandering through a maze of pirates while trying to leave to go to lunch. Sometimes they cast businessmen and I find myself wondering who is an actor and who actually works in the building. Today they were casting little girls for something.
While standing in the lobby today after a short phone call I overheard a mother talking to her very young daughter (she couldn't have been more than 4) about how to act surprised in a good way. Here is the conversation I just witnessed- I think it made my heart grow about a hundred sizes:
Mother: "What's the most awesome thing you've ever seen?"
Little Girl: "R2D2...or maybe Luke Skywalker"
Mother: "OK, so what would be your expression be if you saw Luke Skywalker?"
Little Girl: "Well I would be a Rebel Alliance member!"
Mother: "No that's not your expression!"
One of very few times a kid has made my entire day.
