Give me what I want, WonderRoot

26 Jan

WonderRoot has tons of workshops announced for the next few months, instructing things like “winter cycling” and “Adobe Photoshop.” These topics are entirely unhelpful to me, WonderRoot. I want you to offer classes in the one thing I need to learn immediately: tap dancing. I really need an excuse to buy these.

This way, many years from now when our grandchildren ask us what it was like during those months of unemployment after we lost our jobs as tax attorneys and assistant visionary coordinators, we can honestly answer, “Hear tell, honey child, of when times were so hard during The Economic Recession of the Late Aughts that we couldn’t even watch Bromance on MTV.com because the next door neighbors, ‘TraceyFam5011,’ were foreclosed out of their own home and we couldn’t steal their wireless anymore. Fortified by nothing but Trader Joe’s breakfast soysage for protein and stockpiled Sparks for empty carbs, we entertained and warmed ourselves through those devastating 45 degree winter days the best way we knew how – gluing some bottlecaps to the soles of our Tigers, sewing together some brightly colored rags, and putting on a show down at the community center!”

    You can take tap at Callenwolde. Although, good luck finding tap shoes anywhere in the perimeter. I had to go to Marietta to find ballet shoes.

    Listen, if you find clogging classes, let me know. I was a clogging queen back in the day. I took classes in Tucker and even toured a little bit with my glorious routines. I need to bring it back and make my daughter proud.

    You should be teaching the clogging class, not taking it! Come on, offer your services to the community!
