Five year old Lucy first met her favourite children's entertainers. Her pre-school had won a competition to have them come and perform at their pre-school. It was a band that came, the Rainbows they were called. There were six of them, Rosey Rachel, Bluey Bella, Olivey Odette, Violet Vanessa, Sunny Steph and Creamy Carmel. Lucy's favourite was Sunny Steph.
At the end of the concert, the children were given oppurtunities for photos and autographs. Lucy had a photo with the whole band. She got individual photos and autographs from everyone but Sunny Steph. Lucy was too scared to go up and ask. Her mother kept telling her but Lucy wouldn't She was a very stubborn little girl when she wanted to be.
Five years later, when Lucy was 10 she got out the pictures from the concert all those years ago. "Mum, why didn't you try to make me see sense and go get it signed?" Lucy asked. "I did try, Lucy. But you were so stubborn back then. You just wouldn't do it." Her mother explained. "So why didn't you do it for me?" Lucy was still stubborn, even now. "I wasn't as smart as you are Lucy. I just didn't think of doing that." Her mother admitted. "So why didn't you...." Lucy was interupted by her mother. "Stop it Lucy, just stop it ok?!" Her mother got angry and rushed out of the room, leaving Lucy alone with the album of that concert all those years ago.
To this day, Lucy still regrets the fact that she was too shy to confront Sunny Steph and hopes to confront a bigger fear sometime in the near future.....
