At the lunch table today with Tim, Lisa and Madison…. we’re talking about TIm and Lisa’s dance & theatre lessons. Lisa is getting carried away by her imagination a bit…

Yes, I admit: I totally made them pose for this post. That’s what you get when you mom blogs. “Promise not to put it on Facebook mom!”… OK. Promise. But I might put up a thumbnail.

Lisa (with a mouth full of bread): and so this one boy in my theatre class, GRABBED my arm and pulled me from the class circle!

Tim (with the most neutral voice you’ve ever heard): did he hurt you?

Lisa (excited): oh yes, here, look, at THIS spot he placed his arm in a fist shape and DRAGGED me out of the circle!

Tim: next time, just call out for me. I’ll run from my dance class and help you

Lisa (more excited): actually it was FIVE boys dragging me from the circle!

Tim: ha! that’s nothing. I am a few years older and thus a few years stronger. I can handle five! Easy!

Lisa (jumping up and down in her chair now): yes, you just grab them, all five in one hand, turn circles and THROW them out the class room!

Tim: well, don’t exegarate, I can do one at a time!

Lisa: {{{thinking}}}

Lisa: {{{a HUGE smile appears, her eyes light up}}} actually Tim, actually…..

Lisa: actually it was TEN boys dragging me from the circle!

Tim: you’re on your own.
