I want my son to be a sheep, tree or a silent character for the nativity play, I cannot be arsed to try and teach him lines for the next 3 weeks. When I said this to a parent earlier, she looked aghast. It seems everyone wants their darling to be Mary, Joseph, Innkeeper etc. However he's confident and a great speaker so I can see him coming back as the bloody narrator. Aibu to start telling him how exciting sheep are? Because if he feels he needs to be a sheep he will certainly voice this....
