Have you read it?

So I never got to be the angel of the lord. Boo.

Yeah that's the one! Only of course the Worst Kids don't ruin it, they actually get it. All the other kids do the play because their parents make them every year and they just go through the motions.

They actually get what the play is trying to tell them and it's kind of beautiful. But also hysterically well written!

No. No, she wasn't. I would have done it. Little 7yr old me would have done it. She made the right call.
