This is so good, so real, so conversational, so funny. I love it! So many catch my heart sentences and phrases. Shannon, you are one of the most relatable writers I have come across in years.
Shannon, this is one of your best. "...dammit McKayla we said no jumping" is currently my favorite line of writing ever. Thank you for your honesty and humor. I can't wait for the next one. :)
As a middle aged fifth generation Texan raised in southern baptist churches by parents who are currently leaving their local FBC and are most likely on route to Dairy Queen, I have been thinking about a dance class in the new year. I’m deciding if your class makes me more or less likely to sign up.
After a traumatic year abroad (in which I almost died twice, among other things), I would dance in the kitchen to Florence + the Machine’s new album, Dance Fever. Nervous system regulation indeed.
No kiddos yet, but my pelvic floor is shot to hell, so I laughed very hard at this (and of course peed a little while laughing) so thank you for this representation <3
"McKayla doesn't understand that we can't do jumping jacks" spoke to my soul. 😂 Thank you.
Ditto!
This legitimately made me laugh out loud and want to find my own class to sign up for. You are a wonder!
The belly laugh I sorely needed this week. Brilliant!!

Relatable!! And now I know why dancing (even if it’s done poorly!) always makes me feel better. This had me laughing.
This really cracked me up.
You must find the Sally OMalley rockette skit from SNL

I peed myself thinking about leaping
Hilarious and spot on. From one terrible Catholic and raging feminist to another, thank you!

I didn't know I needed this essay today, but 🤣🤣🤣. Laughter is good for the soul.
omg, this was so, so good and was just what this 40 something year old mom needed today.
