Yes, I did it. I am now officially (as if I never was before?) a cool mom to my girls and a sucker to everyone else. Saturday, I hauled out the old checkbook and took the girls to see Hannah Montana, the concert, at the movie theatres in 3-D. Wow were they excited. Emma sat at the edge of her seat the whole time and beebopped singing (very loudly) every lyric of almost every song. She was ecstatic. Jenni on the other hand sat there watching it all going "mom, make her stop", "mom, quit bopping your head, people are looking". "mom, movies are for watching, not participating in." (Has she never heard of the Rocky Horror Picture Shows?). As we left, she said to me: that was so awesome mom, thanks. See, I am a cool mom. The sucker part comes when you find out I spent $18 a ticket, yes a ticket, to see the show. Now I feel foolish and part of the rest of the world being drawn into the commercialism of disney. That said, would I do it again? Absolutely, because in a few years, when my girls are teens, I doubt I will ever be considered a cool mom again. The things we do for our egos and for our kids.
