So I have been taking in the inspirations and ideas that have been posted each morning on TWT, and thought tonight would be a good night to just snapshot an actual moment in time. . . Tonight my daughter was off to her place in the show while I waited, listened, & watched backstage. . .
Tap dancer tap tap tap taps by then stops, shuffle shuffle goes her shoes, and keeps walking. Girl in red leaps by and then she leaps legs long again. Boys horse play, one pulls the fake knee to the groin, they all laugh. Little one by my feet has reappeared. . . to check on her stuffed dog propped against the table leg, and talks to him lovingly. Bongos beat on a bench seat . Boys eat. . .apples and gummies. "Ooohhh. She's totally breaking the rules again" says a mom as she b lines across the crowded cafeteria. Puppy girl is back whoops she caught me smiling at her. Girl donning fluorescents and black rides piggyback on the purple sequined girl. Those little leopards are still walking about purposefully. Pink poofs practice spinning, one smiling one serious. Boys run. Tapity tapitty shuffle step shuffle step. Another mom says,"The show has started now. . ." her voice trails off into the din.
All those little details made the scene come alive for me. I was there.
