Yertle the Turtle

My daughter is Yertle the Turtle. This information was broken to me today, just a few minutes ago, actually. She is in a school play, Seussical the Musical, and she is a Who. Today, they told her she was also Yertle the Turtle, due to her stick-to-it-idness. She is very excited. I am trying to remember what the heck Yertle did in the book and just have this vague image of a turtle in a tree. So now I have to go find the book and read it. Although my daughter tells me the show has nothing to do with the books. Go figure. At least it's rated G.

I love her crazy ass attitude and hair. She's so wild, yet so innocent, just like I was. People don't get how you can be both, but she really is, and so was I.

Now I have to wait weeks until the darn show. Then I'll probably go to all 6 performances. Maybe I can stand in for Horton or something by the end.
