Proud Parent
At our annual extravaganza, we have a recital for the rec girls, an in house meet for our developmental teams, and an exhibition by our team girls. We make a big deal of it with ordering special leos for each group, real medals and trophies, and a big choreographed dance number for the team in addition to displaying some of the routines.
We have a mom who makes no secret of her lack of respect for our sport and is quite open about using gymnastics only as an enhancement for her daughter's dance career. So I guess I should not have been surprised when her daughter takes the floor in her new gymnastics leotard, fancy hair, stage make up, and..... wait for it............... the matching scrunchie placed about two inches above her right knee.
I really try to be a nice person. Seriously I do. And I have no bad feelings toward this poor child at all. But I still must confess that I lost it. I seriously lost it. As in had to hide behind my program so as not to embarrass myself and owe this poor woman an apology at a later date.
