gig

Yesterday Ella said to me, "Oh, by the way, Mom. I have a gig tomorrow."

"A gig?"

"You remember! We take turns in music class. You can play an instrument or a song on a CD."

"Oh, right! And it's your turn tomorrow. Wow. What are you going to do?"

"I dunno. Which CD should I choose?"

"Why don't you play the piano?"

"Okay! I'll go get my book!"

She picked the song she wanted to play. It had five notes, but two hands. She was up for the challenge. She practiced it twice and declared she was ready. 

I waited all day to hear how it went. After school I asked her, "How was your gig?"

"Good."

"Did everyone clap?"

"Yes." She smiled. And I was so happy for her.
