Problems

OTHER PARENTS ARE NUTS.

I mean, not you ... but maybe you. I consider you nuts if you:

- Get your middle school kid a spray tan.

- Spend $50 on makeup for a dance competition without throwing a fit.

- Carefully comb over a dance competition schedule and whine about how it's not fair in a group text message.

- Have opinions, really ANY opinions, about which dance number your kid's team should perform at a completely optional dance competition and then argue with the teachers when they don't sign the team up for the dance you thought the middle schoolers should do.

- Spend $200 on a pair of tap shoes, especially when your kid's feet are still growing.

- Have an intricate plan for how you're going to drink ALL of the wine during a dance competition, though I do understand the need to drink through that whole thing. I REALLY DO.

- Spend actual real money on "butt glue." (I am guilty of this one. AND I KNOW IT MAKES ME NUTS.)

- Attend a competition hair and makeup class on a Saturday evening when you could be doing literally anything else.

- Let hours of your life pass by waiting for your kid to practice her 38 second part in a large group number. HOURS.

- Sign your kid up for competitive dance. Clearly that's the real root problem here and I KNOW IT.

So, uh... what in the world is butt glue? I'm too afraid to Google it 😆
