Ballet Shoes at Daycare

Every day at one o'clock here at the uh at the daycare.

You know, the kids go to the to the to the closet to get their blankets.

Well, he's he's actually uh

your son is rushing to the closet.

To make sure he gets the pink blanket.

And he doesn't want the blue or the red blanket that all the other boys are fighting over.

Your son wants the pink blanket.

Four years old.

What do you mean?

It's a pink blanket.

Right.

But let me let me let him continue a little further.

I that's not the only thing that's been taking place.

Now, at three o'clock in the evening, the the the young boys go out and they play ball in the back.

You know, we have a complete playground for them.

For the girls, they the girls stay inside.

And we have an instructor that comes over and teaches them ballet.

But your son, well, your your son wants to stay inside and and he wants to do the ballet.

He's he's actually he he's actually taking some of the shoes, the ballet shoes from one of the girls.

And he he's been wearing them for the last three weeks every day through uh uh while while he's here todaycare.

He wears the ballet shoes.

So what so what the hell are you trying to tell me?

My my son what what what are you saying?

He wearing ballet shoes?

That's why that's why I want it.

I wanted to talk to you.

He's been putting on some ballet shoes, and he don't want to go out and play with the boys.

He he he wearing the ballet shoes, man.

And he he knew when the ballet instructor comes.

Well, don't be doing all that around here.

I don't even know what you're trying to get at.

I'm trying to figure out why he's putting on the ballet shoes, and y'all let me put on the ballet shoes.

Well, I I've let it go on a couple weeks.

He's been he he he every time I've tried to take the ballet shoes from him, he started crying, and I let it go for so long, and I said, you know what, I'm just gonna call the father and talk to him.

I'm glad you did.

Well what what what's what we need to do?

Well, he's doing one more thing that kind of grabs me by surprise.

He's snapping his fingers at the other boys in a in a circular motion.

You know, his whole arm is in a circular motion.

You telling me, first of all, I want to know, did somebody give him this thing blanket in the first place for him to think it that is here.

You got him around here wearing ballet shoes and snapping his fingers round in a circle of motion around these other chairs.
