Note that Herman obeys Megan promptly and politely. Good work, Mom.Off topic: Why was he named “Herman”? Sherman suggested that as a name when Megan was pregnant, and she absolutely loathed the idea, because she absolutely loathed Sherman’s brother, Herman. To the point where she actually murdered him with a spear gun, that accidently went off while she was cleaning it. (She cleaned it twice.)
My mother was a second grade teacher in a rural town. A boy in her class was going to an open audition for child actors at the nearby city’s civics center. This audition had been advertised on the radio; they claimed it was run by actual Hollywood talent scouts and they named-dropped major Disney Channel and Nickelodeon shows like iCarly.
The boy had NO acting experience, not even in a school play. But his mother was certain that he was a star and convinced him that he was going to succeed.
In the week leading up to the audition the boy would not shut up about it. “When I get my acting job I’m gonna be rich.” “When I get my acting job I’m gonna be famous.” “When I get my acting job I won’t have to go to school any more.” That one prompted my mother to explain that child actors have on-set tutors. The boy looked at her like she was nuts.
The weekend of the audition came and went. The following Monday the boy came into class crestfallen. He had not gotten his acting job. “They said I didn’t ‘sparkle’.”

I didn’t know Hollywood was on the ocean. Malibu, yes. Hollywood, no. Did they go through a storm drain, canal or river to get there?

It’s not, but the A-list stars often live there.
