The secret of a happy ending really truly is where you stop! Well said! ... I think about this about news stories a lot. Whether they're tragic or triumphant, I often wonder what happens next. AFTER the family home was destroyed by the tornado, AFTER the orphan won the Olympics 50m dash.

Louly sounds like so much fun! I love it when stories have kids putting on plays; it actually inspired me to try to do similar with some friends (never performed, but we started sets and a script) and to actually accomplish it with my kids. Having several children around the same age is great for amateur theatrics!
