Save an Oscar for Fio

Fiorella has often been characterized as dramatic. Well, duh!

First there was the Sunday School play, in which she portrayed the the model wearing the hat which the prospective buyer liked best. Then there was the kindergarten end-of-year parade, in which Fio marched as a high-stepping horse, trunk-swinging elephant, and triangle player, all at the same time. In the first grade, she starred in the Easter play as the bunny who convinced the other bunnies not to strike against ungrateful children. In the second grade, she hit the bigtime as Child Two in the elementary school Christmas play. Maturing as an actress, she spent her after-school hours at Baylor Children's Theater in the third, fourth, and fifth grades. Sixth grade brought a school circus play, in which she was ringmaster. Seventh and eighth grades were devoted to puberty, but ninth grade brought roles as lady villains in two different plays. Fio wore a wig in one and cracked a whip in the other.

And did she leave out the summer plays she and Friend Ellen staged on her family's patio? Or the one in Friend Elaine's back yard?

In short, her formative years were spent playacting. Is there any wonder she's dramatic?
