A funny thing happened to me this week while hosting the Decades Dance Party at Adventure City Theme Park. There I was, outside on a break from theme park dance parties and a small human runs up to me.

Small Human: You were the one who showed us the dances?

Me: Yes, that was me.

Small Human: Can I ask you a question?
