Yay Spelling!

Hello my darlings,

I had a very exciting encounter this evening that I had to share.  After a long day at work it was nearly 6:30 when my train got back to Union Station.  Much to my surprise, as I walked off the train my eardrums were accosted by a gaggle of teenage girls wearing bright white t-shirts, very small, very tight black shorts and multi-colored bows tying back they adorably coiffed ponytails, It didn't take long to realize that these perky, young'uns were fresh out of cheer camp.  They were a huddled mass of giggling, giddiness eager to impress one another with their cheer moves and chants.  I wasn't really trying to understand what they were saying, but then something grabbed my attention.  The ringleader, a very tall, thin, cute blonde, wearing far too much makeup for a 90 degree day, did some cheer kick - arm-pump thing and exclaimed 'Go Jesus!"  HUH!  Wait, did I really hear that?  Then the girl next to her, not nearly as cute and trying way too hard, giggled then started a spelling chant - J-E SUS, J-E-SUS.  Golly - Cheer girls sure are good spellers.....  They bounded, giggled and high-kicked along in front of me until the commuter gods smiled down on me and I reached my favorite little foot bridge that leads me home.    

I know I shouldn't make fun.  It's great that these girls are engaged in something positive and not hanging out under my favorite foot bridge, with the other deadbeats, swilling Boones-farm and smoking god know what.  But that was a little too much happy and a lot too much Jesus for a Monday.  

I did consider for a minute about informing them that everyone know Jesus is was more of a Dance team guy than a cheer guy, because no one cheers in sandals.....  Ironically enough, I decided to act like a grown-up and keep my snarky comment in my head.  Or at least in my head, until I had time to run to grocery store, grab some dinner and come pour it into a cuppa this crazy to share it with all of you.  You're Welcome!

Until next time.....

XOXO
