Never again....
will I take a 2 year old to a high school production of "Beauty and the Beast". Isabella told me last night that she didn't want to go, that it would 'not be fun', and that she wanted to see "Cinderella" instead. Being that "Cinderella" was not an option, I dragged her little butt to "B and the B" seeing that I had already purchased the $6.00 ticket. I even dressed her up in her Snow White costume (including the 1 inch plastic heels) and gave her a Belle doll to carry - IN THE RAIN. UGH! I should have known better. The minute we sat down the orchestra walked in, the wailing and whining started. "I don't want to stay here." "I want to go home." "This isn't fun." "I want to go to the car." "I want to see Daddy." "I don't want to see the Beast." "Take me out of here."....are just a few phrases she repeated OVER and OVER and OVER again until I finally put my hand over my mouth, got up at an inappropriate time (not during a scene change), and left the auditorium. We were only 20 minutes into the damn production and had another 2 hours and 10 minutes left. For the next 45 minutes, we snuck in and out of a side door at the back. Lucky for me, we ran into 'the Beast' during one of his breaks. Do I need to tell you that I never saw the ending?? That I came home and took a nap?? That she missed HER nap and now is on her way to bed at 7:28 pm???? There is a GOD!!!
