@yassie_j As it turns out, in my brief ballet career (one year, age 5) I was indeed a lily pad, although visited by a little boy sprite of some sort, not a frog. Then I had to be escorted off stage because I stayed behind to find my parents.
My career ended for many reasons- another sibling, starting kindergarten, or (most likely) I'd become quite a brat.
