So last night I went along to something called a Guitar Smackdown which basically involved watching 2 hours of beginning guitar players belt out various tunes they’ve been learning this year. I know. The glamour of full-time motherhood never ends.
While I was sitting there last night, there was a lot of time to take in what was going on around me. Naturally today I’m going to share them with you!
- If you sit in front of me with a very large camera that you insist on holding above your head while you take photos of your child performing, I might think you’re a bit of an inconsiderate human.
- If you set up your tripod in the middle of the seating area and plonk a commercial sized video camera on top of it to record your child’s performance, your child might think you’re a little bit embarrassing.
- If you teach guitar and decide the beginners group are more than capable of playing anything from Jimmy Hendrix, you might need to attend some sort of Optimists Anonymous meeting.
- If you turn to your husband and whisper, “This is one hell of a Date Night” it might result in your husband laughing loudly at a very inappropriate moment. This could cause other parents in the audience to turn around and glare at you both in what can only be described as a Disapproving Manner.
- If you and your husband sit up the back to watch your child perform because you don’t want to embarrass him by sitting near the front and he catches your eye and smiles because you’re both there, you might feel your heart swell with pride and/or have something in your eye that requires a lot of blinking to make it go away.
