Last night I went to see the Buttcracker with some friends. A girl I know is in the ballet so it was exciting to get to see her and bring her flowers at intermission, making her feel like a famous ballerina. And now I’ve seen my first ballet. Check!

But this ballet thing… I have some questions. 1) The guy who played the Nutcracker had his junk on display for everyone and it was very disturbing. How does a guy get used to that? 2) The Rat People … what was that about?

Can you tell I was slightly distracted? I might not become a ballet super fan, but the experience was well worth it. And I may never again have the chance to say, “See that girl? I know her!”
