Mummy Dances With The Stars!
Where to begin? As I told you prior to our Easter Ham fiasco, my parents had been visiting Len Goodman and treated to VIP status at Dancing With The Stars. Accompanying them were my mother's BFF, Evelyn and her new husband and my former live-in painter, Miguel.
According to my mother, Lenny, as she calls him, is an Old British Pal from "back in the day". Typically, for Mummy, once an acquaintance has "made it", she immediately contacts them, reminding said star what "old dear friends they are". I could make a list but this is about "Lenny".
It would seem that Lenny invited the "rents" and co. to visit the set of DWTS in Burbank.
The happy travelers were ensconced at the Beverly Hills Hotel Bungalows and hired a driver to attend the taping of the show.
They raved about how graciously Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli treated them.
After the show taping, Mummy danced with Len, Daddy with Carrie, and Miguel and Evelyn were given a "lesson" in the quick step by none other than Bruno!
Oh the fun, the costumes! Daddy loved the "Show Girls", as he calls them.
What happened next will go down in the history books. I swear my mother could be accused of assault.
She spotted the guest star! Yes, Josh Groban. The poor guy never saw it coming!!
I can only imagine how it went down.
Mummy: Mr. Groban, what an honor to meet you! Lenny, darling you didn't tell me THE Josh Groban would be here!!
Josh: How do you do? So happy to meet you Mrs, uh.
Mummy: Cadbury darling. Like the chocolate, Clarissa to you, my dear!
And then she was off to the hunt! She had long ago told my daughter, Fiona, that she should find a nice young man like that singer, Josh Groban. Apparently, she meant it!
Josh and Mummy had their heads together deep in "matchmaking status." Poor Josh, is all I can say.
So my mother laid it on thick and invited Josh to her home in England for a lovely "Country Weekend". She even promised to produce Prince Harry for the bait! Of course, she won't tell Fiona until she has arrived. Mummy has such plans for the only Granddaughter!
Should I warn Fiona? No, I think not, This might be fun!
