Lula tells me dinner is on the table, however, there is a pre-dinner skating show that must be attended first in the family room. Huh? Skating in the family room? I know the floor in there is not covered with a thick piece of ice, so it must be roller skating, but there’s carpet, so I am perplexed.

Everyone must be in their seats before the show can begin. Cue the music (her favorite Enya song). Lula with roller blades on, commences to perform what I would consider to be a mix between ballet, hip hop and uh, skating on carpet.

The song is kinda long, the dinner is getting cold. But, we watch with rapt attention until the end. Then we clap and spew enormous amounts of praise on a very proud, carpet-skating 10 year old.

Hate to say it, but she reminds me of a certain little girl back in the 70’s that performed similar choreographed skating dances and thought she was Dorthy Hammel (with her Dorthy Hammel hair cut!). The music she played was on a little orange child’s record player, the album was Andy Gibb’s Shadow Dancing. I’m sure Lula felt as beautiful and graceful as that little girl did. (Except I did it on a nice, big flat concrete driveway!)
