Goody, I've only been able to find one or two and have none of my own.
This thread reminded me of a parent who approached me and a fellow actor after a children’s show where we had played husband and wife. She asked me how I might explain the difference between a real kiss and a stage kiss to her child.
With a blushing glance at my partner, I explained that onstage, you both know it’s pretend and you’re only telling a story for the people who are watching. Not to be outdone, my partner put in “yeah, in a real kiss, usually only one of you knows that.”
