Alas and alack..

I went today to sign my kids up for dance class. I'm surprised it went as smoothly as it did as I've had problems with these people nearly all of my life. We never really got along, you could say.

So why am I signing up my kids then? They need to get out more, they need to learn some sort of coordination, and they get a dose of culture at the same time. Also, my father threw a hissy when I first nixed the idea and my mom asked me to please at least consider it.

I figure that eventually they'll get bored with it. Particularly the boy. If it's not a video game, electronic or a cartoon, he couldn't care less about it. The girl might actually enjoy the class, though. Then I'll be sucked into many a dance recital.

The sacrifices we make for our loved ones.
