What if I were on Dancing with the Stars?

My Mother is really into this show, Dancing with the Stars. And while I have not been watching, I'll admit that tonight's season finale certainly sucked me in. After they did a segment with one of the star's parents, where the Mom broke down crying about how proud she was of her son, I teased my Mother about how none of us (as in her four boys) should go on the show because Mom would probably have a complete breakdown when interviewed about how proud she was of us.

My Mother then made the retort that would only be the case if one of we could dance.

She then stated seriously that I probably had the competitive drive to get myself through at least a few eliminations. I told her that if I was ever on the show I probably would work very hard to become a dancer so that I could advance (rhythm is not something that my family naturally possesses). I made the comment that of course I'd still have to be able to fit in my nap breaks.

Chuckling my Mother said, they'd have a lot of interviews with my partner whispering where she'd be really close to the camera saying something like, "right now Jim is sleeping ... again. He has a long way to go, but we found that he does better if he gets his nap in"

Of course I pointed out that if I was one of the final three the producers would have a field day with me, and rather than showing some 3 minute about how far I've come like the other dancers, they'd have 3 minutes of all the clips of me napping and what my partner said about it. Which would be hilarious.

I'm pretty sure a Narcoleptic would make for great entertainment on Dancing with the Stars ... I'd just have to remember to medicate before each night's dance routine!!!
