Crisis averted.

5 Year Old Drama Queen: Eeek!  There’s a moth!  On the floor!

[A dramatic performance ensues]

Mrs. Dalrock (AKA Drama Stopper): Oh no!  Where’s the phone?

5 Year Old Drama Queen: [Pauses dramatic performance] Why do you need the phone?

Mrs. Dalrock (AKA Drama Stopper): To call the school.  So I can tell them you were eaten by a moth.  And that I’ll have to come by later and pick up your homework.

5 Year Old Former Drama Queen: That’s silly.  They don’t eat people.  [Picks up her backpack and heads to the door for the ride to kindergarten.]
