When I met Dan, it didn't take long for me to see how good looking,
funny, and happy-go-lucky he was. He was also a hard worker, responsible and sincere. But Dan kept one secret concealed from
me for several years-the man can DANCE!!! And this is how I found out...
Since we heated our home with wood, there
were a few times a bee or other stinging bug would end up in the house. Amber got stung 2 or 3 times-fortunately this was
not usually the case. Along with the occasional bee, we also had the common problem of ladybugs once a year, when they would
hatch, I guess.
I used to wear my shoes in the house quite a bit. Static electricity came about once in a while,
and everything I touched left a shock.
These are very important points to my story! Keep reading for
the actual story now....
Dan came in the
kitchen one afternoon, and told me he thought he had a bee in his shirt. He had a couple of layers on, and was trying to be
careful to get them off without getting stung. I, the loving and caring wife that I am, walked across to him with my shoes
on, and reached out to help.
When I touched his shirt while
wearing my shoes, I shocked him by accident.
And this is when
I learned he could dance!
Upon the accidental shock, Dan's back
arched, and he proclaimed, "It's a bee!". I then watched him dance around the kitchen-it's AMAZING what
one will do to avoid pain! He thought he'd already been stung once, and by golly, he wasn't going to get stung again!
He knows more moves than Pee Wee Herman! John Travolta, move over!!!
Fred Astaire, you've got nothing on my man!
I,
the loving and caring wife that I am, felt terrible for shocking him! I kept saying, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!", but
it was betwixt my uncontrollable laughter, so was barely audible. I was trying to let him know that I shocked him, and that
it was not a bee stinging him.
Well, there was no bee after
all, and that moment in time is gone. But it is was too good to leave in the past-I can still reminisce!
So! Any of you ever wonder if your spouse can dance? Here is a sure way to find
out! Just put your smooth soled shoes on while you walk around looking for a ladybug, and you may want to grab some popcorn
and a chair too! And then let the entertainment begin!
