I am a gym teacher at the local high school, and also the coach of the ballet club. This year the club consists of eight seniors, four smallish white boys and four white girls, one of whom is my daughter. I had made her join the club against her will, and she didn't like the other girls in the club. My girl takes after my somewhat diminutive husband in her stature, but after me in stubbornness. I am much more full figured than it looks like my daughter will ever be. But she is happy with her body, as I am, so that's good.
This year's big production was a good versus evil piece. The girls and boys played angels testing the boundaries of heaven. One scene of temptation called for four large black devils to tempt the female angels out of heaven.
I asked the boys' varsity football coach if he could get me four muscular volunteers, although I didn't think he could. I told him they had to be 18, like all the members of the club, for insurance reasons.
Well, I was surprised the next day at rehearsals when four huge black boys, or men I guess, were ready and waiting for us. I thanked them for coming, and one of the boys said something I wasn't too happy with. "We couldn't pass up a chance to get hold of these good looking girls, even if it is on stage!" Well, I wasn't happy with their motives but I needed their help. I'd just have to keep my eyes on them I guess.
I marched them up on stage and kind of walked them through what they would be doing. The boys and girls in the club, all in stretch leotards, stood to the side on the stage. "Wow," I thought to myself, "standing next to the boys in their ballet outfits, the football players looked huge." I thought though that the contrast would only help with the idea of the piece. After the walk-through, I took the football players to a room on the side of the stage and showed them their costumes, which consisted only of a dark red kilt-like piece they were to wear around their waists. "This little thing?!" one guy asked as he held it up to his waistline. On the ballet boys, the kilt went down to their knees, but on the football players they looked like mini-skirts. "Well, they'll have to do for now boys. Sorry about that," I told them. "Well, Ok" they grumbled, and started getting undressed, right in front of me!
"Why don't you wait until I leave, fellas?" I asked as I watched several incredibly muscular chests being unveiled in front of me. I had to pause and admire these boys, but then shook from the effect of the brief sight and left them.
