Its a cross between being on a thrilling roller coaster ride at an amusement park or being one of the cattle herded on the farm. You get the call that you have an audition, well Grant has the audition and that's the roller coaster. Woo Hoo! Pick out the perfect outfit, dab in a little hair gel, and grab a few toys to excite on the spot. I get so thrilled every time thinking one day we may see Grant in a magazine or a billboard, internet or anything. Its just for fun and all money earned goes into an account set up and required by law to protect minors. What I seem to always forget is that when I get there its really like being on a farm, thus the expression cattle call. 100's of kids Grants age, boys and girls, every nationality and the cutest darn things I've ever seen! I try to get Grant acting silly, I might even be guilty of a sugary drink just before go time. But no amount of prep work can prepare Grant at this age when walking into a room with a person he doesn't know holding a news reporter size video camera and a TV. All of a sudden he's mesmerized stunned, and wondering whats going on. Its all very quick, no warm fuzzies and specific to what they want you to do. You have about 30 seconds to hit or not hit the mark and its over. Hoping and waiting for a call back. So I find myself wondering, would it be easier to hit the lottery? I hear California now has Powerball!
