Meerkat

Finally, after weeks of rehearsals, A got to flex her acting chops in the school musical The Lion King. She and her best friend got plum roles: Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog. They don't really kick in until the second half but then it's all them, hamming it up, delivering all the best lines. I was dead proud. We did see a version at Hong Kong Disneyland five years ago, and a big, Spanish-language production is coming to Mexico City next month. But it won't compare of course.
