That’s the headline…..and I’m the parent! I snuck out of work for an hour or so today to see my daughter Christina participate in a mock trial at the Cumberland County Courthouse.
Christina is a senior at Portland High School –and is the captain of her mock trial team. Following in the footsteps of her older brother, she thought it would be fun to get involved.
Held in a real courtroom, presided over by real attorneys acting as judges (which I think must be perceived as good practice by those lawyers aspiring to the bench), the rules of law are enforced as each team takes both sides of the argument in a fictional case. Today, it was Portland High versus Deering.
As I write/post this, I have no idea who won or lost…not sure I could tally the points, but I was extremely proud of my girl-who played the part of the plaintiff. As I sat and watched her confidently answer questions in front of a packed courtroom-and an intimidating atmosphere, it was hard to imagine that this is the same sweet baby whose diapers I changed….not that long ago. In short, Christina was MAGNIFICENT!
It is a miracle how children grow and mature…and my wife and I are truly blessed to have three incredible “kids”!!
