Jamie saves MayDay

So here's the story: for the last month royal party (of which Missy is a Mayday princess) has been practicing in an arena where tonight's ceremonies took place as opposed to in a small room where they started. I have been attending each practice with Jamie aned Jeff and in tow. So Jamie....being Jamie watches and learns all the dances and dances it in the bleachers. THey have boys in the royal party and they are called Lancers and they are in the same grades as the Princesses. Well one of the lancers has not been to many of the practices and has left one of the princesses stranded. This morning was a three hour practice and lo and behold he wasn't there. The dance leader said that his parents phoned he was out sick this morning but would be here this evening. So the morning rolls on and evening comes and we all set out to the dinner. Dinner started at 5:15. Six o'clock rolls by, my boys are with their dad and I am with Missy and her g/f at the dinner. The dance leader approaches me. That Lancer couldnt come and what are the possiblilties that Jamie (age 7) could dance in his place. I phone his dad, Jamie is with the g/f so I phone her and talk to Jamie. Sure enough, he squeals Ì get to dance tonight`and I tell the g/f that I am on my way to pick Jamie up. We whip through the Bay and grab a white dress shirt and black dress pants and rush back to the arena. I quickly change him, we put his vest and tie on adn cinch it up at the back and head out to the remainder of the dinner. They go through the announcements, the Mayor anouncing it all and he calls Jamie up and explains to the parents and councillors what had happened. The thing is, Jamie is so littel that no one can see him behind the podium and so the Mayor lifts Jamie up for everyone to see. So its time for the ceremonies. Jamie takes the place and walks a flower girl (his age) out and brings her to his chair and takes his seat. He then waits and the call the Princesses and Lancers up to dance and Jamie gets in his line. Everyone by now is wondering why there is a 7 year old as a Lancer when all the other Lancers are 10 and up. The size difference is noticeable. The dance starts and Jamie is on. The boy doesn't miss a beat, knows every move and brings it home. As a result, Jamie is now part of this year's Royal Party, is getting his certificate and all the goodies and will be riding in the float on May 9th. Jamie an honourary Lancer saved May Day
