Tap Dancing While Obese Freewrite Day 760
I actually was a tap dancer in my younger years. I was also a ballet dancer and a Scottish dancer. These wonderful times were thanks to lessons I had as a kid. Even though we moved all the time, my mom would sign me and my brother up for any classes she could get us into anywhere we landed. We often got pulled out early when we moved again, but at least for the time we were there, we were doing something.
I liked all those dance classes, but yes, I was always the fattest kid in all of them. I always checked every room to see if there was someone fatter, and usually there was not. I think today, most of the kids in those classes would be fat. Childhood obesity is on the rise and something like 20% of kids below 10 years old in the US are obese now. At least they are not alone like I was in the 1960's.
As soon as I saw this prompt, I started hearing one of the songs I tap danced to, and it is still in my head now. It will be here until something takes it away. I can also feel the moves that go to the song, but certainly cannot do them now.
My photo for this post is my feet on the Amtrak train taking me to Los Angeles to get my Thai Visa in early 2016. I can see the beginnings of the deformities that my toes have so much worse today. I was taking these feet photos to look at the tan I had from my sandals. This is the kind of stupid thing I can pass many hours of time with.
Who knew that I would later come to STEEM and have a place to post such a silly photo?
My post today is for the daily freewrite prompt of tap dancer. This is the first prompt in quite a while that actually pertains to my life :)
