Jon's Audition

One year ago, Jon had two week's worth of auditions at Vineyard Westside. One of those auditions fell on Mother's Day. Now, anyone who knows Jon well knows that sometimes he rambles...and if he can't talk with his hands, well, sometimes he really rambles. AND, if he is nervous in addition to not being able to talk with his hands - he's pretty much on a sinking ship.

That, my friends, is what happened on Mother's Day at his audition at Westside.

Jon: blah, blah, blah..."And as you all know, today is Mother's Day. And I, uh, have a couple of mothers that I'm pretty fond of.
(At this point he put on a really bad accent that I just simply cannot describe)
"The mudders of my chillens"
(Awkward silence)

Okay, so how many mothers is that? Did he just say a couple mothers? And did he seriously just say, the mudders of my chillens' with that accent during his audition?

The thing is, he got the job. I don't know what that says about those westsiders.

He also just happens to be terribly embarrased by the whole thing still, so if you see him, be sure to ask him about it. Ask him how his audition went last mom's day and how many chillens and mudders he is fond of. And then, just know that he will cover his face with his hand and tell you that he's a dork. Just agree with him.

I bet I laughed at his bad accent. I was like hire him, hire him, hire him.
