Let me tell you, community, working with kids is exhausting.

I suppose I'm a little young to be complaining about people being 'kids', but... well, Lotus Blossom's nice enough, but the whole "Red Army is made up of children" idea is causing problems. I'm starting to wish they'd gone with aging some of the characters up after all, whether it's in the book or not; getting One Favorite Pearl to take directions on set is difficult. She keeps losing focus and just playing with the rabbit.

I guess I should be glad for the work, though. I'm still a little nervous even now that we're filming - it's my first leading role, after all.

What do you think, community? Am I being too weird about this?

I've had to work with a lot of children but I didn't mind it. I was worried when they brought in a baby but even that turned out well.

No, I'd hate it too. If my writers cave to public pressure and introduce a pregnancy storyline, I'm going to go on strike.

I don't think you're being weird at all! I was nervous when they first gave me my role, and that was just as a minor character. Although of course, I was only eight years old at the time... um, anyway, the point is I think it's completely natural to be nervous about having such a big part!
