Tonight while at group violin lesson, Ms. Jean, N's violin instructor, was helping the kids prep for their upcoming solo recitals.  She started out by walking them through how they would walk up and stand up front to get ready to peform.  Then she showed them how she would walk up with them to help them with whatever piece they were doing.  This would of course be followed by applause for them by the audience and a bow.  But before getting to this part, she asked "who knows what happens after you're done performing?  What happens right after?"

N raised his hand, seeming eager to answer.  She called on him and his reply was, "you get refreshments!"  Ha!  Good one, kid!  We of course all busted out in laughter and N turned around to look at me and was smiling shyly.  I mentioned to him that yes, that was in fact true, but not exactly the answer Ms. Jean was looking for.  At any rate, we all had a great laugh.

Yes, first the bow, then the applause, THEN the refreshments!  I'm glad he won't be too caught up in the performance part and will just be thinking of cookies and juice boxes the whole time!  ♥
