The Limo

At dinner one night Alex made the following pronouncement:

“When I grow up, I want to be a limo driver.”

And then he made sure we knew that it wouldn’t just be any kind of limo.

It would also have a pool.

So of course we needed to know more about this pool-carrying limo, and Alex said with a pool he could drive and then swim whenever he wanted. Then he showed us what he meant: he pretended to turn a large steering wheel back and forth in front of him, saying “Drive, drive, drive.” And then slapped his hands together, twisted his body, and dove below the table. “Swim!”

Suzanne told him he just invented a new dance. She called it “The Limo.”

A few weeks later at the Father-Daughter girl scout dance, Megan introduced The Limo to her fellow scouts, and soon the entire dance floor was infected with the eager shouts of “Drive, drive, drive . . . swim! Drive, drive, drive . . . swim!”

It’s obvious Alex doesn’t need to be a limo driver. He needs his own Top 40 dance show.

Dig it!
