We went to a graduation party for my niece-in-law this past weekend, and my daughter, being the social butterfly she is, was the first and sole dancer shaking her bootie for almost 10 minutes.
She finally recruited a couple of her little cousins, who are about her age, and then a group of soon-to-be-college-age girls joined them, surprising most of us with line dances to 15-year-old songs that I swear didn't have line dances to them when I was in high school.
Anyway, Sam was entertaining herself by whizzing around the dance floor, clapping her hands, stomping her feet and wiggling her flexible little body. I handed off the duty of watching her to my husband, who was stationed beside the dance floor chatting up one of his nephews.
Later, as I was chatting up that nephew, I discovered our Miss Sammy wasn't just dancing. Michael (the nephew) joked to my husband that he seemed to have jumped in on an awkward situation at just the right time:
Michael: "It looked like you broke up a game of Gynecologist over there at one point."
Damon: "Yeah, I saw that and just tried to get them off the floor and dancing again."
Apparently, Sam's cousin Hailey, who's 4, was laying on the dance floor, legs splayed, and Sam was standing between her legs. Now, I'm betting this was just an easy way to show off some really cool new princess underwear or something, but I'm sure it looked horrendous.
So far, Sam's been pretty good about not doing or announcing embarrassing things in public or at family get-togethers, but I can just feel the tide turning somehow.
What's the most embarrassing thing your kid has said or done lately?
