Dancing Mama

My eleven-year-old daughter had another dance competition today.  Her team did awesome.  It was a national competition, and they won first place overall!

Anyway, last night we were in our hotel room, dressed in our pajamas and ready for bed.  My daughter wanted to watch TV, so we turned it on - to music videos.

The music made me want to get up and start dancing.  So I did.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"Doing a Bubba dance," I replied.

She watched me and rolled her eyes.  "Mom, you seriously need to take dance lessons!"

So what did I do?  I busted another move. 

She totally cracked up.  "Mom, you're embarrassing me, and there's not even anybody else in the room!"

"Sorry, kid," I said.  "I'm just doing my job!"

  3. And that is absolutely the job of the parent. I have to remind my 16 year old of that time and time again.

    Embarrassing your children is the best part of being a parent. Now you can rest in the knowledge that your work is done. :)

    1. One of the songs was Bridgette Mendler's, Hurricane. Rap/hip hop.

      My daughter was absolutely thrilled. That was a big competition, and there were a lot of really good teams she was up against.

  11. Yep, that's a mom's job all right! My mom was always better at it than my dad -- because his dad always embarrassed the living heck out of him growing up.

  12. Wow. It must've been a traumatic experience!

  13. Well done. It IS your job to embarrass her. If she misbehaves, all you have to do is dance in public, or threaten to dance.

    Love,

  14. Lol! Sounds like the advice I get from my daughter! To take some dance lessons before dancing!
