I just got back from Emily’s ballet recital and I don’t think I’ve ever been so proud in my life. She was so good! And beautiful, too. The whole show was almost 3 hours long, and Emily’s dance was about 2 1/2 minutes of that, but it was well worth it. In fact, I dare say I somewhat enjoyed almost the entire show. And just when I thought I couldn’t get any gayer.
Some of the other dances were hip-hop hoochie dances, and I find it disheartening that some of these mothers let their little girls dress like skanks and dance provocatively in public. In fact, some of the mothers would shout out words of encouragement to their girls when they came out on stage. Brittnie’s mom, whoever Brittnie is, and no, I didn’t misspell it, it’s in the program, needs to be banned from all future performances on accounta she wouldn’t shut up. But most of it was good stuff, I’m not too straight to admit.
Anyway, here are a few pictures. Later today I should have the illegal bootleg video I took of her performance up on my website at chris-snider.com. It’s not as funny as Rafael Furcal talking, and it’s not as inspirational as an old lady farting, but in many ways it’s better. Enjoy.
