80's Music

Scene: A and M are going on an errand. J is listening to Corey Lee sing, "I Will Be the Flame."

M (suddenly reversing course from the front door to the garage): "Oh! I need to get a bag."

A (running to the front door and opening it): "OK! See you at the store!"

J (stepping away from the computer): "No, A; wait for M."

A: "I'm opening the door."

J: "No. Wait; here - dance with me. See; step, step; shoulder, shoulder, roll your shoulder."

M: "Augh! No, you can't teach him that dance!"

A: "Too Late!" (demonstrates a four-year-old version of raised-arm shoulder rolls).

M: "Be sure you tell folks your dad, who likes 80's Music, taught you that dance."

(Scene where J's musical taste is insulted deleted.)

J (thinking to himself): "Gee, I mean, really, The Backyardigans already taught him most of that dance...."
