Lily, rose and I were in the locker room of the ballet school very early that morning. Even though it was the weekend the time we had ballet didn't change. It was 5 - 7 every morning and night. Lily was stretching on the floor and I was helping rose pin her hair up.

In the mirror I saw the reflection of lily trying to bend over one leg. Her posture wasn't very good.

"honey if you have better posture you'll be able to better do that," I told her helpfully.

She sucked in from her middle torso and not from lower down. She tried again but still wasn't getting it.

"no," I said.

"hold on," I told rose who held her hair w/ her hands.

I went over and stood in front of lily.

"now watch me," I told her.

I sucked in from my lower torso. I watched as she repeated.

"there good," I told her.

I went back to rose stood behind her and pinned her hair up then went to sit on the floor where I wrapped my feet.

"thanks," rose said.

I looked at her; "uh huh."

I went back to my wrapping.

"damn I need more band aids," I muttered.

"well go after," lily said.

"ok."

"and get breakfast too," rose said.

"ok."
