This is something I really want to tell about because I have been holding it in for a long time and I think it would be good to get it off my chest now. So, my mom has this friend that sometimes makes fun of my mom for dancing. I'm gonna call this friend Sadie because I cannot say her real name because I am afraid it will invade her privacy. But she is my mom's best friend. So my mom joined this dance class and my mom is on facebook too. So she made fun of her over the phone. She kept laughing over the phone because when she told her that she was taking dance class. And then Mom disinvited her to her dance recital and Sadie said she is coming anyway! And then, over facebook, I don't know WHY, but she sent her a video of Storm Troopers doing ballet. I think it was very mean of a so-called best friend to send her that and insult her like that. Friends wouldn't do that. Now, I love Sadie, but it made me feel really frustrated that someone would insult my mom. Not just because she is my mom, but I would get frustrated with anyone who insulted anyone over the phone like that. And I think my mom doesn't deserve that because she has enough to deal with, and now she has to be discouraged because of someone making fun of her for being in dance class! And to top it all off, my mom was already discouraged about it, so that made it even worse, adding a little topping to everything!
I came to see her dance myself and she was great, so I don't know why Sadie makes fun of her, because you know, she's doing this to finish what she started because she used to dance for many years and she didn't make fun of her then, so why is she making fun of her now? I mean, it's probably because she didn't know her then, but still. What is the purpose?
She's coming for Christmas and I will have to have a few words with her before we celebrate Christmas.
I don't know who this "Sadie" person is, but you should organize your siblings into a non-violent protest and boycott any Christmas gifts from her. THAT would show her not to laugh at the idea of your mother performing in a Storm Trooper themed ballet.
ReplyDeleteSounds to me like perhaps Sadie makes fun because secretly Sadie wants to dance as well as your mother can. Sometimes people make fun of the things they are afraid to do themselves.
ReplyDeleteYour mother is a strong woman and I am very proud of her for coming back to dance. I'm also very proud of you for supporting your Mom. I think your mother is an amazing dancer and performer.
You and your mother are welcomed to come visit my dance classes anytime! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwLXy226SOs
PS: I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it over today :( I think I got food poisoning and wasn't feeling very well, however I hope to see you soon!
