会唱歌的水壶 (The Singing Kettle Live)

这篇日记的标题也许让你觉得很怪，其实它是一个表演组合的名字。它有四个成员，三男一女。他们在苏格兰巡回演出，专门唱歌表演给小孩。我和靖恒，乘建明在加拿大的上个礼拜，去看了礼拜三的那一场。除了一岁以下的婴孩是两镑之外，其他人没有优待。靖恒看得很入神，不想回家。不过，他还是挺‘木纳’的，没有像较大的孩子那样参与。没关系啦，第一次。对，我希望还有下一次。虽然要破财，但挺喜欢这种热闹又天真的气氛。

The Singing Kettle is a group of four adults singing children's songs and entertaining kids. We went to watch their live performance on 5 Dec, since Jianming is away this week for a conference, we could do with more human presence... It was rather fun, though there were less Christmas songs than I had hoped. Still, it seemed a good first experience for Ethan. But somehow, I feel that to him, it's like watching TV - he's not very involved in the actions and songs the singers asked the children to join in, while everywhere I could see enthusiastic kids and hear their responses. I will try this again, though. Theatres are fun.
