Things You Learn as You Get Older...

You know all that lame, stupid shit that used to drive you crazy when you were younger?

Guess what. You're doomed. Doomed, I say, to teach it to your kids.

Tonight, out of the fucking blue, I taught my daughter the "Chicken Dance."



You've gotta believe me. I had no fucking idea that I even knew the chicken dance. I was, like, just playing around with my kid and, next thing I knew, I was teaching her the chicken dance. What have I done? What kind of future am I giving my daughter?



[If you didn't at least crack a smile at that second video, well, have a nice day in hell! Thank you, YouTube.]

  1. I hope the woman dancing on the second vid was drunk because doing that sober would just be sad. Or ironic.

  2. Sornie,

    It's possible that I'm wrong, but what I really liked about that clip is that the young woman dancing clearly knows she's goofing around, the person taking the video knows it, and I see this and know it myself.
    This makes it almost celebratory--they're just having fun, goofing around. I enjoyed that video the same way I enjoy watching my own daughter goofing around, with the kind of laughter that no "professional" could ever elicit from me.

  3. You're a horrible, cruel man for passing that on. You'll be teaching her the Macarena next.

    I usually hate videos of people acting like jackasses, but that second one had a certain innocent fun about it.

  4. Rob,
    That's basically what I saw in the second clip.
    The Macarena is a bit past my time. I feel no regrets about this, though!
