My son who was celebrating his 5th B-Day (wearing his button) and got picked. He was so sad when the girl next to him was chosen, then the boy on the other side and behind him got picked, he thought they had chosen him and he started to run out. The lead Instructor said "ok little one in the orange shirt since your so enthusiastic, we can use that kind of attitude".
I started to get worried when he was moved from his waiting spot where I had a good camera shot. We lost sight of him and then noticed that he was walking out center stage next to the Instructor. He ended up being the one that all of the jokes and/or comments were about. Examples:
"Little one," pats him on the head "you just keep doing your own thing, its working for you!" (About half way through learning the combination, he was really trying his hardest and was one of the younger kids picked for that show).
"You might one to aim a little higher, odds are your opponent will be bigger than you, we won't be fighting any ewoks"
Maybe these are all canned comments, but he felt like he was on top of the world.
He also got to be the first one to fight Darth Vader!
It was definitely the highlight of the trip!
(Maybe once I figure out how to post pics or videos I can add some, my profile pic is from that day...)
My daughter is five, and she got that spot up by the Master too. I have a couple of his jokes on video, and they're a bit canned, but still made her feel VERY special.
