Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.

Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly show and happy Friday. Okay, can I just tell you something before we get started? You know what I did this morning? I did the best thing.

The best best thing. It was a talent show at our daughter's middle school. She's finishing eighth grade.

And so it was all the girls in this middle school doing their thing. I am such a sucker for this stuff.

Guys, I cried like five times.

You know, like not like the ugly cry, but cried.

from like one girl did the Irish, you know, step dancing. That was great. And another girl played

the violin. Another girl, she was a sleeper, a sleeper candidate came out there with a guitar.

She played the first couple of chords. I was like, okay, let's see if she can play. And then she started singing. She was a voice of an angel.

It was like, brought down the house. My daughter and her dear, dear friend have done the same thing,

I think all four years of middle school. In our town, it goes fifth through eighth,

where they put on an enormous animal

costume and do a dance to get like last year. I think they were a horse in this year. I don't know

what the custom was this year. Was it a dog? It was unidentifiable. So all of it, it just makes me cry

because it's like risk taking a moment in the spotlight.

And here's the other thing I loved about it.
