We had Madeline's dance recital today. Tickets were $10 each... What a racket. The thing was TWO HOURS long and had at least 30 different groups of kids doing their numbers in different costumes. Other than seeing Madeline do her dance, the best part of the recital was when a group of 40-something moms came out on stage dressed as Indians and did a hip-hop dance. Will and I were sitting next to each other holding our hands over our mouths and shaking uncontrolably as we watched them do a dance-off against a group of 10 year old girls dressed like cowboys to the song "Cherokee People". Apparently, this is how the west was really won - through competive dance between the cowboys and indians.
