Dancing with the Mom

Sam was sick on Monday, so Monday night was pretty sedate at our house. The three of us watched "Spy Kids" and finished in time for some "Dancing with the Stars." We've long been fans of the family-friendly show, but due to my busy meeting schedule, I can't really remember the last time we all watched together. I can tell they watch some with Grandma, because Kate's first question was, "I can watch 2 dances, right?" Sure, sounds good.

We sat on the couch watching, and they had such funny comments. At the very first, Kate said, "See that girl in the blue dress. I like it. I want to buy that dress." I thought it was funny that she was watching the clothing, of all things, and it wasn't even on a dancer, but someone else. Wow. No wonder she's picky.

Later, Sam and I were watching and he looked at me and said, "You could be on Dancing with the Stars, Mom. You could do it."

I said, "I'm not a star!"

"Yeah," he said, "but you could do it."

So, if I'm missing from the next JSL meeting or family event, it's due to my new rigorous training schedule. I can do it. Sam said so.
