“Break A Leg” (5/6)

I got to chaperone this event for the second year in a row. Violeta’s Science Teacher was giving a pep talk to the kids before their appearance. The kids learned the meaning of the show business term “Break A Leg”,  which refers to the old pulley ropes for curtains used in early stage shows. Wishing people great applause and multiple curtain calls meant wishing the pulley ropes, called legs, would break from the strain of repeatedly being pulled. Makes sense. If I knew that years ago I wouldn’t have cringed before my school play!
