The living room is now my impromptu stage, with my teenage son as the star, my wife as the relentless producer, and a parrot that insists on giving a “bird‑bird” critique of every line. I tried to let everyone breathe, but the son kept shouting “Dad, your monologue is on the wrong beat!” while I stubbornly fought to keep the emotional truth intact, and every so often I wondered if I was just micromanaging a family sitcom. Meanwhile, the parrot kept reminding me that tradition—like the nightly “family meeting”—could use a touch of spontaneity, a dash of “quack.” I’m left with a laugh, a flicker of self‑doubt that maybe I should give them more space, and a cat that has already started its own dramatic routine. #FamilyDrama #ActorLife #SundayRehearsal 🍿
