“Mom, if you make me sign-up for Ballroom dancing at school, I’ll be forced
to run away, probably to Mexico and then you’ll be down to just 2 kids. I thought you should know.” Will-11
As tempting as this may sound, I’d really miss the kid.

I wonder what I would need to sign my daughter up for to make her run away to Mexico? Don’t worry . . . I’d miss her too, I was just wondering.
How about encouraging her to ask a boy to be her partner for a year of Ballroom dancing? The fear of that is enough to drive any kid out of state.
LOL!
At least he didn’t hear it on the bus! Are they really making kids do ballroom dancing now? What happen to the all dreaded square dancing?
It’s a recommended after-school activity. The part that scares the kids off, even more than the actual dancing, is that they have to ask/invite another classmate to be their partner for the year. As you can imagine, this is torutre for most 11-year-old boys.
That’s just not right! Is he ever going to ball room dance? Why not make him take tap dancing while they’re at it? Some schminagle thought this would be a great way for kids to stay out of trouble after school and “culture” them. Be real!
Weren’t there some former football players on Dancing with the Stars? I think that makes it ok.
I don’t even think a year’s worth of cheeseburgers from Burger King and unlimited soda consumption would seal the deal.
You should send him to Mexico for a week…see how much he wants to become a ballroom dancer then..
Maybe I’ll threaten him with a bowl of refried beans for dinner.
No, no, no! When I talked about wanting an even number of grandchildren, I certainly didn’t mean that one should be deducted! When it comes to grandchildren, the only math concept that should be followed is addition – always addition. I’m with my Will on this whole ballroom dancing situation, although Rosarito is probably very nice this time of year. Hmmm.
This factory is officially closed for business. And, I really don’t think you need to worry about him running off to Mexico. You know how picky he is when it comes to food.
I gotta side with Will on this one. Better Montezuma’s Revenge than a Strauss Waltz!
Especially when faced with the horror of asking a girl to be your partner.
Yeah, girls can be pretty terrifying at that age. But don’t worry, he’ll get over it. After all, I did, and it only took me another few years …. like 20 … or 25…..
!Bailamos!
…rápidamente!
