My Ol lady tried to rope me in on that one year. I was like "Eff that. Call me 15 minutes before she goes on".
haha a dude behind me in line at the bagel shop this morning was talking to the owner about that exact thing and he was like, "i mean... i love my little girl, i love her, but how many fucking dance recitals can a man take?" lol.
Yeah I have one worse. My step-daughter was in a competitive-cheerleading group and when she had a competition, sometimes hours away, all the kids regardless of age group or if yours competed at 10 a.m. had to stay for the entire event. Try sitting through 8 hours of that shit! Kids as young as 10 years old. And the music they would use for their routines! It was living hell from beginning to end for 8 hours!
Oh shit... Ok you win. But this still sucks. A lot. I mean, I genuinely enjoy seeing The Girl on stage and performing, but 4 goddam hours for like 9 minutes of stage time tops. 2nd intermission...
See... that I think I'd be ok with. At least there's a story to follow along with. This... this is a compilation of 46 different songs in 3 minute snippets that aren't interconnected with questionable talent on stage. At least a high school musical has some sort of scouting process.
Go with that now and tell her something you ate is really not agreeing with you. BAM!! 20 more minutes!
I did that shit for four years! Dance recital?? PFFF!! Back then I could have done a 4 hour dance recital standing on my head.......on a bed of nails.....in a 4'x4' room with one meeellion mosquito's.......nekkid!! Dude should be countin' his blessings.
I will just say I have three daughters. I moved to Texas, so the younger two are cheer/color guard, and there is at least football involved....
As soon as she finished her last # we pulled stumps and hauled ass out. Ran home, grabbed the pups and came to camp. Much bourbon was consumed last night. Oh, and yesterday started with a 4.5hr tour at the dojo, as The Boy is on the demo team and had 2 graduations to perform at, The Girl got her blue belt, her white/yellow in jiu jitsu and The Boy got his yellow/orange in jitsu. Left there to go to aforementioned recital, and en route watched a 72 year old dude (right in front of us) get t-boned by a 19yo dude at about 50mph. Stopped to assist and call EMS, then rolled. Today I ain't doing shit but drinkin.
