Query ... "Girls in white dresses, with blue satin sashes..."

It seems funny that people who want things many others do get told they're not the first, and you wonder when people started tapping into the thing you're trying to, like wanting to move to Germany or England.  How are you supposed to ^know^ such things?  For instance, I was put in ballet at age 5 because I took gymnastics, too, and people believe I got myself behind, but I wanted to do it and so later, but there was no place close enough to where I lived at one point.  I wanted to start when there was, but my mom said I could only go once a week, and this continued until I minored in it in college.  I wanted to do violin at age 6 and singing at age 5, but I didn't get private lessons or anything.  I asked my dad and grandma, and my mom was in the room.  My grandma brought it up.  I saw the singing in school on the TV when I started kindergarten.  I realized my preschool didn't do music at age 3 and 4, but at least I was bright in other aspects etc.  (I am watching a video of ballet in England, and she just said "bright!")
