"You Should Be Glad That You Are Not Me"

"My ballet teacher said you use to be in her ballet class Ariel."

"I had to drop out because my Mom wants me to take piano,"
replied Ariel

"Aaah!" responded Bella, "I take ballet two times a week and
piano lessons and I have to take piano lessons at 4:30 on
Tuesdays."

I thought she was bragging about her ability to handle such a
heavy load, but then she said,

"You should be glad that you are not me!"

Poor kid. I worry sometimes about her being on overload.
Her life is so structured that she hardly has time to be a kid.

Sometimes she complains about it, but when I ask her if
she would like to give up piano or ballet she adamantly says

"No!"
