Hairspray...

Although Jordan's birthday isn't for a few weeks, she's been wanting to attend a musical and so I took her and two friends to see Hairspray at the local theatre here in town yesterday. It was so much fun. I'm glad I was able to take her and experience it with her, there's nothing like live entertainment. Although it varied somewhat from the dvd, it was still very funny and most of all, the girls had a great time. At one point I had to "hush" them because they got to giggling (like teenage girls do), which reminded me of a story in which I told Jordan on the way home...

Luanne and I were in high school watching a musical in our school auditorium and since my brother Jeff was in the band, I guess I thought it gave me the right to act anyway I wanted to. Well, after laughing, and chatting, and just being plain obnoxious, a gentleman turned around in his seat and with quite an angry tone, belted out "HUSH! Can't you girls keep it down?! You're being very disrespectful!" and with that he turned around. Of course that didn't really stop us, but instead we made silly faces and continued to be rude. After the performance we walked down to meet up with my parents and Jeff who wanted to introduce us to his new girlfriend and her family. OMG if it wasn't the same couple that scolded us!! It was so embarrassing, I'll never forget it. Years later, we met up again when Mr. Shaefer started regularly attending Coco's every morning and by this time we got along just fine. The funny thing was that whenever he'd walk in, the first thing he would do was to put a finger to his lips and say, "hush!" to me :) I miss those days.

Those were fun times!!

Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie
