I took my aunt to a musical for Christmas, and I would like to thank our very cheerful and slightly booze-soaked crowd for their contributions. Not that the actresses weren't phenomenal, but I honestly think that having a bunch of people around us laugh and clap forced my aunt to loosen up, and accept that yes, it was going to be a little strange to watch two people play and sing all the various roles, but imagination is powerful and so is peer pressure.

#I did realize while walking into the theater that I spent last christmas coaxing my mother #into ''ernest shackleton loves me'' and this christmas coaxing my aunt into ''islander''#so I seem to get off on dragging my older female relatives to the theater for Vaguely Offbeat Stuff #(it's.....not actually weird. even by chicago standards. but by their standards it is! so it counts.)#celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge
