I’m Not Quite Sure Where She Came From

Posted By on October 28, 2009

Last week, the husband and I, along with a set of grandparents, took the girls to the local zoo for Boo at the Zoo.


It was a ton of fun, despite being the second night in a row that we kept them out hours past bedtime. The animals that were out were awake and prowling. There were tons of other little kids, all dressed up, and E was in awe of the costumes. Both her and MJ had a ball, and were just looking everywhere the whole night.

Well worth the small fortune we spent on admission for four adults.


Even more worth it, was seeing this strange being that I have for a child shake her pint sized ass.

Meandering past the rhino exhibit, we heard some loudy, teeny-bopper music. Miley Something-or-other. In hopes of candy being passed out, we headed over and stumbled across a full on dance party from Radio Disney.

My ears may or may not still be bleeding from the worthless junk blaring from the speakers.

E, however, has apparently been leading a secret nightlife that none of us knew about. Perhaps that’s why I find her passed out in the hallway on occassion at 4 am. She must just never make it back to bed from her midnight dance parties. Whatever it is, the girl knows how to shake it. And, wrong as it may be, I’ll swear that that was just about the funniest thing I’ve seen a two year old do yet.

Miss Thang climbed right up on stage, stuck her hands on her hips and started busting a move. Or two. Flirting with little boys, eyeing the competition and glaring at the older girls hogging the dance floor. Spins, skips, twirls, and dips, she does it all. But, by far, my favorite part was when she turned her back to us, stuck out her butt, and wiggled it to the beat. On stage. In front of fifty people.

Where the hell did this child come from?

Surely not from the husband, who wouldn’t know a beat if it beat him to the ground. And surely not from me, who would have first peed my pants in humiliation and then die of embarrassment from being looked at.

All I know is that if she has these moves at two, my hair is spontaneously going to turn completely grey when she goes to college.

    looks like a fabulous time. I thought about taking my niece and nephew to Boo at the Zoo but he didn't seem to excited about the circus, maybe next year.
