Winter Concert

My youngest son is in handbells at school and they had their winter concert last night. It had been reshecduled from December because of a gas leak, anyway it was the handbells and choir. My daughter decided to ditch me and go sit with her friend, okay she is going to be 17 after all who wants to sit with mom right! I am sitting there waiting for the concert to start and just kind of taking in all the people around me. Nothing else to do right. This one lady who was sitting by herself as well was reading a book. I am thinking why didn't I think of that!! Well I didn't think I was going to be sitting by myself for one thing so of course why would I bring a book to read! Finally they get started and of course they tell you to turn off your cell phones and of course not everyone does. This really ennoys me. So the said lady with the book doesn't turn off her cell phone and the reason I know this is she keeps texting someone! She has the sound off but as you know the light on the said cell phone is pretty bright! I am thinking how rude! What is so important that you can't take the time to have your cell phone off for a couple hours to enjoy your childs concert I mean really! So the begining choir starts off and they where good and than the begining handbells play which my son was in and of course he did a great job in my eyes anyway!! Well there was this boy who I guess is the class clown, because the teacher is facing us and this boy is making faces and what not. I didn't find it funny at all and neither did other people around me. I hear his family behind me laughing! I mean come on that is just egging this kid on to continue I mean really. He than gives the bird! I was not to happy about that and it probably is a good thing the teacher didn't see him do that although maybe it would have been good than he could of got him off stage. When the whole group was together on stage and they were doing there last song this kid started up again! Again the family is laughing which just makes it worse because he is still making faces and what not. Other than this boy I really enjoyed the concert and told my son he did a good job when it was all over with and told except for that one boy! He said yeah I guess his dad was really upset and crying. I told him about his family laughing about it and making things worse. I said does he act like that in class too? He said yeah pretty much. My son said he messed up and I told him well I couldn't tell and thought you did a good job! I guess parents always think their kids do great no matter what. I know when I would tell my oldest what a great job he would do in the plays he was in he would always find fault with himself! My husband couldn't be there because he had to work late! I think that is the one good thing about us working different shifts and different days off one of us can always be at our childrens funtions! Once in a blue moon we both can be there! The next concert will be in the spring so I look forward to that as well! So other than people ennoying me I did okay after all I was there for my son and no one else anyway!!
