Since I'd really rather give a reading from a dark closet, it sounds good to me, but I know if you've actually psyched yourself up for it, the disappointment that nobody came would be bitter.<br /><br />But, though The Onion made a joke out of it, I think what Ethel did was just right - you give that one person your all, and relax and enjoy yourself.tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-39296493575197135822011-05-01T16:53:32.128-07:002011-05-01T16:53:32.128-07:00Sure, I've had the one-person signing.

I kind of assumed the one- (or zero-) person signing happens to every writer sooner or later--unless maybe the person is already famous before becoming an author!Jennifer R.

How it's supposed to work is that we do fifteen minutes of songs and rhymes where all the adults sing and chant together--which makes a big impression on the younger-than-18-month crowd--and then we play. This all falls pretty flat when there's just one mom and one baby. Also the mom was a relatively new immigrant who does not have a great grasp of English and had never been to storytime before. I think she thought I was crazy. And not in the good way, either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
