Dance Party!

Last night, after dinner, Mama turned on some 70s tunes; she's been trying to expand the kids' listening repertoire.  So far, we've added some early 80s.  Mama loves that she's gotten them into Debbie Gibson's "Electric Youth," "Walk Like an Egyptian," "Walk the Dinosaur," etc.  My favorites--Wham!, Culture Club, and Duran Duran haven't stuck yet.  We've also been listening to more classical--Handel's "Water Music" and Yo-Yo Ma--because of their new interest in strings.

But last night it was "Stayin' Alive," "I Will Survive," "Heart of Glass," "Boogie Oogie Oogie," "Play that Funky Music, White Boy," and, best of all, "YMCA."  After the kids stared/laughed at us through a few songs, they were game to do the moves to the Village People.  Sure, it got them a bit worked up, but it was a fun way to end the evening.
