Presidential Museum

Last night we had the privelege of attending the third grade "play", where Reilly starred as President George Washington. He had several lines to memorize, and did a great job! The play was great, though it would have been better if you could hear (the sound system was a disaster). Reilly spoke loud and clear into the mic, and sang a solo! Some of his lines are worth repeating here.

Question for Reilly (George): "How did you get your men through that terrible winter at Valley Forge?"

George: "One word, Mrs. Griffin. SMORES. While the Redcoats were trying to survive on boiled mutton, my men and I were sitting around the campfire roasting marshmallows."

Then the solo..."Just say no to permanent alliances....don't make treaties that can lead you into war....Just say yes, to politic neutrality....then settle back and have another SMORE..."

I'm pretty sure the 3rd graders didn't realize how funny many of the lines were, though again, it would have been nice to have heard the other lines. Anyway... Reilly did a great job and we are proud of him!
