The Fantabulous Chronicles

Hello! Britt here.

As some of you have seen, my awesome hubby stumbled upon a hidden treasure: a legendary video of yours truly as a bee, busting some serious moves! 🐝💃 I swear, this clip is so meme-worthy, it could break the internet, but it won’t! 😂 I’m here to explain how and why it exists.

To preface the story, I was in college as an elementary education major. The class was technology in the classroom. The assignment was to create a video to introduce an upcoming unit. And BANG. Poetry in Motion was formed! This was a group project that (at the time) was a good portion of our grade in the class. My group decided to do a poetry video designed for 6th graders. My crew and I cooked up some poetic magic with 10-15 poems, from spooky “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe to hilarious “Favorite Fibs” by Neal Levin. But wait for it, the showstopper was “Fame as a Bee” by Emily Dickinson! 📖🎤 We cooked up a wild plot where a jobless poet gets chased by a crazily enthusiastic dancing bee (yours truly)! 🏃‍♀️🐝 What were we even thinking? 😆 But, if you know me, you know I’m prone to misadventure.

Well we did our thing, made our video and submitted it to the professor. We all signed the form that said it could be put on a video sharing site and didn’t think anything of it. Oh, but here’s the plot twist, my name was selected to be on the account and I can’t even access the account. It’s like my epic dance legacy is held hostage by some tech wizard and has been that way for 12 years collecting virtual dust! 🧙‍♂️🔒 And guess what? My IT-savvy hubby cracked the code, unlocked the treasure chest, and decided to share this hidden gem with the world once more! 😂🌟

Now, don’t get me wrong. I was happy with it then, and my kiddos got a kick out of seeing their mama’s goofy side. But let’s be real, if I could time travel, I’d go back and shred that “post-it” agreement like a DJ scratching vinyl! 🎵💥 This video would be buried deeper than buried treasure, stashed away like a lost winning lottery ticket!🏴‍☠️

But hey, life’s a rollercoaster, and I’m just here, ready to embrace the spotlight (and some good-natured laughter)! 🎢😄 So, let the legend of Bee Britt continue to buzz around the interwebs, bringing joy and laughter to all who dare to click “play“! 🤣🔥
