Shock and Awe

So she thought she was going to a movie.

Not sure why we had to go so far to see it in her mind but yep that’s what she thought right up until we were a block away from the Air Canada Center and I handed her the tickets.

A very quiet. Oh my god. You are taking me to see Katy Perry? You are the best Mom!

I honestly don’t think she knew what to make of the whole thing.

She sat there in stunned silence. Singing a bit to the songs she knew but mostly just starring.

Surprisingly there was a lot of girls her age there last night and Katy made note of the grads in the audience and congratulated them on their efforts.

This morning the hyperness is all there and she’s sporting her concert tee with a grin!

And me? I’m exhausted. I’m not as young as I used to be. Rock concerts on a work night isn’t the best of plans now a days.

But for the smile she’s wearing. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Until tomorrow…
