Her hips don’t lie
Monday, June 5th, 2006My beautiful daughter performed yesterday in a small hula show with her halau. My heart swelled with pride to watch her dance…
I admire her greatly, she has that certain “something” that I can’t even describe (probably because I don’t have “it”). I cannot help but compare myself to her, remembering when I was her age and my best friend and I were the final two contestants in the school spelling bee. I purposely misspelled my last word, allowing my friend to win 1st place… I didn’t want the attention.
My daughter is all about the attention and is confident yet able to laugh at herself… We had a great time together, preparing for her show, and now watching and rewatching the video… the most memorable scene was when the music started and everyone in her group began dancing to a song she had never learned, but everyone else knew… she had no choice but to “fake it”, all the while having this look on her face like “whaaaaat?????”….
She can’t wait to do it all over again.
