Jitter...recently had some of the same reaction..."it's just a dance."
I have trouble with adults doing this let alone a child. There are some Jamaicans that work in my town for the summer. Sadly, most of them think the daggering thing is "just a dance". I'm the prude for blushing and giving them the mother "look".
A guy friend of mine, who is dating a lady from the states, recently was at one of the wet and wild or soakin wet parties and getting his dagger on. As you know, the photographers are out at these events and the younger Jamaican really do love their picture taken. My friend was no different. Numerous poses with him and various partners.
His lady friend saw the photos and went absolutely ballistic! He says he was just having fun at a party and that she has nothing to worry about. He asked me if I would be mad if it were me. HELL TO THE YES! I told him of the recent debate that some were having regarding the "dancing". Explained that here in the states we don't dance like that unless you are on stage getting paid. He explained or justified that in Jamaica they don't have any trouble with it, it's part of "their culture".
He honestly didnt feel that she should have been upset about it...
