Disco Night!

The annual Elementary School Disco Night was held last night, and Mary, our resident dancer, was excited about it. Her parents went along to assist with the concessions.

There were a million people in attendance (just a rough guess). The place was packed! With all that crowd, I would've expected to be busy behind the counter all night. But, in fact, while Cheryl was able to enjoy some fun selling food tickets, there were far more than enough volunteers to handle the other concessions (pizza, soda, candy) so Disco Dad got to "hang out" on the dance floor with the kids and practice his smooth moves.

It was cool. I was wearing my disco duds.

Mary danced, ran, chased, tagged, and generally had a wonderful time. Her face was bright red when we finally left after two hours, and the freezing cold outside temperatures were, oddly enough, refreshing.




The DJ played several classics, including "Thriller" (was that really a Disco song??), and mixed in some modern Techno pieces, but neglected to play a single BeeGees song; and I got very confused when he put on "The Hokey-Pokey" and "The Chicken Dance". I thought those were roller-skating songs.
