SarahHello!My soulmate balletboy started ballet in his youth and was teased and made fun of by everybody.The girls in his class forced him to wear pink tights and a black leotard over the tights to class.I guess it was his lisp and wrist movements.I met him first as a penpal.We are now married and live in the Midwest, so there is hope for your son.Bubba Answers to this message: |
