I'd like to kick HER hump

I spent the morning at my littlest one's school to watch student performances for "Pre-School Day." I didn't expect to have the fun that I did, and it wasn't just because of all those cute preschool kids dancing and singing.

Maybe it was because of lack of sleep or failure to eat breakfast that made me think of some funny things during two dance presentations. I found myself chewing my lip and making little mewling noises to keep myself from laughing out loud, because I was sitting beside a dignified-looking older lady, and the laughter that was threatening to spill out from me wasn't the "oh-aren't-they-cute" kind. It was more like the "bwahahaha-this-is-so-fucking-idiotic" kind -- the kind I don't think she would have appreciated at the moment. Take note, my laughter was not aimed at the children.

It's like this. The kids are on stage, dancing. A teacher is positioned a few feet away, just below the front of the stage. She's acting as a guide for the kids who are performing, so she's doing the dance moves they're supposed to be doing. This teacher, for all intents and purposes, should have been inconspicuous, but since all the dancing kids were staring at her, and because she was in full view of everyone, it was kind of hard to miss her. To say that she was a distraction is an understatement.

Second thing that almost made me chew my lip to shreds. One of the songs that a class of kids danced to was the Black Eyed Peas' My Humps. Sure, it's a catchy tune and it has a great beat. But a song with lyrics that say

My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump,
My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump.
My lovely lady lumps (lumps)
My lovely lady lumps (lumps)
My lovely lady lumps (lumps)
In the back and in the front (lumps)
My lovin' got you

probably isn't the best song for a group of five-year-olds to dance to in public. At least that's my opinion anyway. The idea of getting a hold of the idiot responsible for choosing that song and thinking up a suitable punishment for him/her nearly made me crack up again. And the fact that the teacher in front was shaking all that junk, all that junk inside her trunk, didn't help at all.

I'm going out with the girlfriends tonight, yippee! (Well, the person in the center of the photo is technically a guy, but at heart, he's all woman, lol.) In any case, he's a lovely person.

Happy weekend everyone!
