Share Your Funny Kid Moments

« on: June 02, 2007, 08:15:11 AM »

I am still laughing this morning--I've got to share this with you all.

Last night my 14 year old daughter had her 10th year dance recital. It's held at the City Theatre here and it's really a big deal. (I hope I can explain this not knowing any dance terms but I'll give it a shot). In fact, last night my daughter came out before the show and I told her I liked her uniform. She rolled her eyes (as only a 14 year old can do) and said: "It's a costume, Daddy", then gave me the double eye roll. (I never knew double eye rolls existed until I had a teenage daughter). I digress...

Anyhow, it was half way thru the 1st half of the show and a beginner ballet class of 4 year olds come out to perform their routine. They were the cutest things you ever did see. They had on these light pink leotards with matching pink tights and ballet slippers. Their little bellies were protruding in front of them and they kinda reminded me of little bumblebees.

They were doing a really nice job keeping in step with the music and occassionally looked stage right where the dance instructor was hidden behind a curtain, obviously giving them direction. There was one particular little girl with blond hair, a little chubbier than the others, who stood out from the rest. She would occassionally stop and wave at her parents in the audience a few times during the routine. Cute--very cute...(chuckles from the audience).

Half way thru the routine, all the little girls (15 or so) facing the audience in a group, up on their toes with their arms in a "O" over their heads (I don't know the dance term for this)--they start side stepping stage right, in the direction of the instructor (still on their toes mind you--with their arms over their heads), and the same little chubby blonde girl starts side stepping in the opposite direction. She doesn't realize at first that she is going the wrong way but starts to hear a little chuckle from the audience. Arms above her head, she looks stage right and stops dead in her tracks, throws her hands on her hips and motions to the rest of her class as if to say "over here you dummies". The fourteeen other little dancers, look stage left at her, arms still not out of position, and without missing a beat, start SIDE STEPPING TOWARD HER!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, I about died. I was laughing so hard-- how she thought that everyone else was wrong and she was right was beyond me.

The more I thought about it the more I laughed. I couldn't stop!! My wife was nudging me in the arm and saying shhh--but when I looked over at her, the tears were running down her cheek. This made me laugh even harder!!! It continued on thru the next routine and I had to excuse myself and walk outside where I laughed my small bowel out my rectum.

My daughter has another performance this evening--I can hardly wait!. I think I'll tell my daughter that we will meet her at "halftime"--just to piss her off. LOL! Don't you love teenagers???
