Showtime

Glittery hope dances 

across the hollow stage

in groups

of awkwardly choreographed friendships

and solo bundles of nerves

Brought to you by the future...

and Aeropostale. 

Author's Note

Ever see a grade school talent show?

Each year, pairs and small groups of kids do some dance routine together... it's like looking into a time warp; only the costumes change... Thanks so much, Cassie!

Yes too funny, kids are the best. So Aeropostale wins out over Gap eh? Another little piece of a day in the life of Rita. ;-) Enjoy'd.

Lots more Aeropostale lately... Yes, the kids give me plenty of material! Thanks, Frieda!

I am there with you. I have been to many of these when my kids were small. It is so much fun and so comical to watch at times. This is priceless my friend.
