Billy Moss vs Billy Elliot

Some of you might know of Mary's insidious plan to turn our son Leo into a ballet-dancing Billy Elliot. One glance at our beautiful baby boy would immediately show you that this is a misguided effort - as one nurse put it, "Look at t'e t'ighs on t'at" (in a thick Irish accent). Clearly Leo is built to be a rugby prop forward - more Billy Moss (of Bath and England U19) than a Billy Elliot. So to that effect, I got him his first rugby ball. I think the ball and his rugby shirt suit him much better than a tutu. What do you think - comments welcome? I suppose he could always follow in Matt Dawson's shoes and do both (you may have seen him in Strictly Come Dancing). Nevertheless, I think he needs a few more "manly influences" to his upbringing - perhaps I should go part time...

Liar liar pants on fire! I brought that rugby ball for Leo at the start of the world cup to ensure that he has a balanced upbringing with equal measure of sport and dance! Artistic licence indeed!
