I said "no!". He didn't know where it was going to be, who was going to be there or even when it was - oh boy! Cade (and Aaliyah) were persistent and continued to gather information.
Finally one evening the phone rang - it was Aaliyah and she wanted to talk to me. Very politely she explained that it was a dance for middle school and under put on by the South Berkeley Elite cheerleaders group at the Inwood Fire Hall from 6-10 on February 16th. After doing my research through the "mom channels" and discussing this with dad, I reluctantly said "ok".
We decided ahead of time that 9:00 was late enough and that we would drive over and wait in the parking lot to watch who walked in (making sure there were kids around 10 years old AND that there were other boys going in). There were so at about 6:20, we walked in and got Cade signed into the dance. We also decided to entrust Cade with dad's phone during the dance so that he could reach us if need be.
During the night we received a few text messages from Cade including this picture -
At about quarter to 9:00 I decided to check in with Cade before heading over to pick him up .
He ran out of dance moves? Really? I guess the boy can only do the sprinkler and the robot so many different ways!!
As we were walking out, a lady (chaperone) called to me and whispered - My husband and I overheard your son during one of the two slow dances say to another girl who came up to him and his dance partner "please, this is a slow dance and your ruining the moment".
Oh help me please!!
Mom's lesson learned - she isn't really for dances and everyone is on a dance ban for a few more years.
