The kids and I were at Home Depot and Rowan starts singing in the middle of the floor and dancing to the music. I called her back to me and explained to her that she had to be careful and pay attention. She couldn’t dance in the middle of the aisle because someone could run into her or she would be blocking someone from getting down the aisle.
Later as she held my hand quietly, I thought why can’t she dance in the store or sing. Why can’t she have that joy? Why do our social norms say, “no dancing or singing in stores”? I bet people working retail would be much happier and more helpful if people sang and dance or if they could sing or dance. An episode of He-Man said that whistling or humming a song makes you feel better. What the world needs now is more singing and dancing in the streets.
