Mother Daughter Bonding at the Miley Cyrus Concert
My daughter went to her first concert last weekend: Hannah Montana. But instead of Disney’s wholesome tween creation, it was the next phase of the Miley Cyrus business plan who took the stage. You can’t blame her for tarting it up. She’s sixteen after all. It’s time for the next step in her career. I believe we’re at the point that correlates to Britney’s “I’m Not a Girl” release.
Still, there are good reasons for moms to take your daughters to see Miley Cyrus. Among them:
- To point out the specific moves that will ensure your daughter can pay her own way through college.
- To teach her the importance of creating an alter ego for her personal brand so that she can move seamlessly from exploited girl to exploited adult without the bother of releasing a poorly lit sex tape.
- To confirm that skin-tight spandex hot pants really are in style.
- To learn how to straddle a motorcyle. Or a rope, apparently.
To be fair, there are good reasons for dads to see Miley in concert too, but they’re almost illegal.

Oh Miley, Miley. We hardly knew ye. And then we knew ye much too well. And thy dad, too. Both of thy parents – they are complete putzes, are they not?
Why is it that if I were to start my 16-year old daughter on the path to a promising future by standing her on a street corner and encouraging her to wiggle her tush until a customer offered to pay for her services, I’d be locked up…
…but if I did the same thing on stage and the service folks were paying for was a CD and a chance to see my baby wrap her legs around a pole (Kids Choice Awards, from what I hear) then they’d slap her image on a lunch box and make me a gazillionaire?
I laughed out loud hard than usual at this one – then I promptly sent it all my guy friends that have young daughters!
Too freaking funny! Who knew a Miley Cyrus concert could be so educational??
Thanks, Gracie. I heard it was quite a spectacle. This, from a dad.
