The Junior Minstrels are putting on Damn Yankees this spring, which I am not myself familiar with, but which, my mother informed me, is about a man selling his soul to the devil (oh my!). At the first rehearsal the kids read through a synopsis and several of the scenes. The role of the devil (Applegate) is a toss-up between Lee and our neighbor Liam.
On the way home I was asking the kids if they think the devil exists.
I will paraphrase Clara's response:
"Well, Mom, you know when you get tired of life and everything seems dark and you don't want to go on living anymore? I think when that happens it's kind of like the devil is inside your mind."
Wow. How old is she?!?
