And it was so amazing that I got to do, that I had that, that I could go there.
And then when I discovered that you could study dance, I was like, I want to take dance classes.
I want to take dance classes at five years old.
And I won't give away that moment from the book.
It's a little humorous moment about that.
But finally in third grade, I got to start studying dance.
And that really...
That was the best thing ever for me.
Yeah, that was certainly a moment.
So we had gone to Six Flags on a church trip and I had some spending money and bought a handheld fan at the gift shop at Six Flags.
And as the women in church would fan themselves and as Scarlett O'Hara would fan herself, I had seen Gone with the Wind on television.
It seemed like it was always on in Alabama.
Go figure.
And I was having a Scarlett O'Hara moment, fanning myself in the beginning of the day in third grade.
And my third grade teacher, Miss Ridgeway, says, you there, come here and bring that thing with you.
And she marches me down the hall to the
fourth grade teacher and tells me to show her what I was doing with my fan and so I proceed to fan myself the way I had in class and she tells me to stop and and I wait and she conferences with that teacher and then she marches me down the hall of the fifth grade teacher and and tells me to do it again and I was like well maybe I didn't do it you know it's
Maybe I didn't fully commit, so I committed more and really dropped into Scarlet.
And then later that day, my mother comes in and tells me she had gotten a call from the school, from Miss Ridgway, and Miss Ridgway said that...
That I would end up in New Orleans wearing a dress if we didn't get me into therapy right away.
