Plié – knee-bend. Miss Camilla did five hundred of these every day. Not recommended unless you like having spaghetti legs.
Mason: Did you say spaghetti? I’m hungry.
Pirouette – complete turn of the body on one leg.
Mason: Jerzey used to be really bad at these until she went to Mason’s Magnificent School of Ballet.
No comment.
Scarf, lucky – what Miss Camilla Freeman wore during all her ballet classes. Most effective if not previously used as a parachute for a toy soldier who landed in a mud puddle.
Mason: Well, I couldn’t just let him fall a million feet, could I?
Sibling rivalry – when two kids in the same family (who have to, for instance, go to dance class together) fight a lot ... which Mason and I don’t do anymore.
Mason: Right. Even when I leave the cap off of your green felt-tipped pen and it dries out.
What?
