Zumba Zealot


Day 99

“How many stars did you get, Mom?”

“Not a lot,” I laugh. 

“How many?” F. persists.   

“Are you really going to make me say it?” 

My husband suppresses a laugh but fails to hide his grin.

“I got none.”  I admit.  

“NONE!”  All three boys hoot.  “You said not a lot!”  

“None isn’t a lot,” I clarify my earlier statement. 

At this Chaz loses all composure. 

Santa brought a Wii for Christmas but I bought the zumba game myself.  In the game, you mimic the dance steps to earn stars.   

The first time I did it, A. asked if I was OK.  I think he might have thought I was having a seizure.  The second wasn’t much better, but humiliation is a dish best served alone.

“So you’ll zumba with us?”  I don’t want to.  I like to shake my zumba thing in private. 

A. nods his head up and down and smiles.       

So we dance, if that’s what you want to call it.  We dance.

  4. Asking questions are actually fastidious thing if you are not
    understanding something completely, except this piece
    of writing provides fastidious understanding even.

  7. A fascinating discussion is definitely worth comment.
    There's no doubt that that you need to publish more about this issue, it may not be a taboo subject but usually folks don't
    speak about these issues. To the next! Many thanks!
