Dancing on the Ceiling!
You’ve all seen the awards show speeches, right? Where they all thank their moms (and dads)… Well, my mom proved again today (for the millionth time) why that is.
I was telling her about the auditions tomorrow… How challenging it will be to find the right woman to play Millie, because of the talent pool for that age group and because there’s a lot of memorization… and that requires time… which we don’t have much of.
I said to mom, “If we find the right woman tomorrow, I’ll be happy. If we find the right woman, and the right guy tomorrow, I’ll be dancing on the ceiling.”
And mom, without missing a beat, said, “Be prepared to dance on the ceiling.”
In that moment, my anxiety dissolved and I laughed for the first time today.
How is that oftentimes, mom knows exactly what to say?
