The Hacking Nutcracker

Over the weekend us grand daughters and Aunts 

took my Oma to see the Nutcracker! 

It's a Christmas time tradition. 

Every year when we were little 

my Opa would take us grand kids to the 

Nutcracker Ballet in Cincinnati. 

It was one of the best parts of Christmas time. 

Everything was so magical. 

This year I noticed 

that when you get older things get less magical. 

until you have a child, and can then see 

the magic through their eyes. 

I really can't wait for that!

So I figured I needed to write out a few 

statements on common curtsy when 

attending a Ballet

1. If you are sick... Please stay home. 

Sell your ticket on ebay, gift it to a friend, hell give it to 

the lady working the drive thru line at McDonald's for all I 

care just please don't come to an arena filled with 

3000 plus people and spread your germs!!!

2. If you are sick with a hacking cough

 and you do decide to 

drag yourself into public,

pack a bag of cough drops for petes sake!

3. If you are 30 minutes into the show 

and you realize that you can't go 5 minutes 

with out hacking all over the person in front of you

kindly excuse yourself to the lobby. 

4. Why do we have to clap every time 

Mr. Ballerina lifts Mrs. Ballerina in the air. 

She clearly weights maybe 90lbs 

and he clearly has the muscle of an ox. 

You are ruining the end of the music with 

your loud clapping. Just wait until the end 

of the song! 

5.  To the person who always has to have 

the last clap. 

You're annoying. 

Over all it was a beautiful performance.

I sanitized my hands about 235097 times. 

and made sure to chug some orange juice 

as soon as I got home. 

Next year I'm wearing a mask.
