Ella: Mummy, what’s this? (does a bow.)
Me: A bow.
Ella: When do you bow?
Me: Right after you’ve finished your performance.
Ella: Why?
Me: I guess so you can let people say thank you for performing.
Ella: Can you please make me skip and then clap?
Me: Okay.
(spinning the skipping rope, Ella jumping five or six times until missing the rope)
Me: (clapping) Yay! Woohoo! Ella! etc….
Ella: (bowing) Thank you ladies and gentlemen. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen… (yelling) IS EVERYBODY HAVING A GOOD TIME?!!!!!
