The context of the following conversation is Jan was helping with the schools Christmas pageant and loved working on the choreography with the children. Taylor was having trouble and Jan wanted to make sure she did well and stayed in place during the songs.:
Jan says I choreographed the Christmas Pageant for the school this year..
The friend responds That sounds like a lot of work dealing with kids..
Jan responds It was a lot of work. One kid, Taylor, I had to pay special attention to, to make sure that they stayed in place and didn't wander off..
The friend responds That does not sound like a fun time corralling rowdy kids..
Jan responds I actually loved the choreography part though..
The friend responds Well then I guess it was a trade-off..
