Father/Daughter Sock Hop

Last Friday night was the school's Father/Daughter Dance. 

It was a Sock Hop theme and Jeff, being the good sport he is, dressed up and took Miss Lizzie.

Dinner always starts off at the fine dining establishment, McDonalds.

Then there is much dancing and fun. 

See evidence below...

We won't mention that a certain someone hit the proverbial wall around 8:00 p.m. and staged a protest that included a refusal to do the YMCA or the Chicken Dance or even the Macarena all of which were a huge hit last year.

She who shall not be named also got quite cranky on the way home.

Someone whose name rhymes with Izzie became downright unpleasant when she realized that she wasn't going to get a milkshake like she did last year.

This particular child just really needed to go to bed and was a whole new person in the morning. 

So in the meantime we will focus on the above picture of FUN as our memory of the night.

And I think a certain little girl learned that disgruntled behavior is not the way to a milkshake.

Life Lesson # 607

And way to go Jeff, by the way,  for being patient and kind, yet firm, in the face of meltdown.
