Jeannie ignored the whining voice and continued to read the papers in front of her while the boy continued to speak angrily.
"Why don't you add a bit of foot stomping to the chant? That way you will resemble a two year old perfectly. Or you can even lay down on the floor and throw a tantrum. Let me know when you are done."
That made the anger blow out of Blaise like a burst balloon. "Mum! This is not fair. I have been learning well. But please don't make me do that! I'll be teased too much!"
"And who may I ask dare to tease you? And what is so shameful about going to ballroom dance classes?"
"Fine, but then if I learn dancing then you have to let me play an extra hour on the PlayStation!"
"Not negotiating."
