Well, chalk that up as a brand-new life experience - timed, competitive 20-minute painting in front of an audience!

Guess what, kid? In 20 years, you'll have way shorter hair and fewer dresses, but you'll never stop getting that great big grin every time you sing, and that's the important thing.
(And also, you'll have so much more to smile about than you ever could have dreamed 💖)
