TM #386 - Do you have children? If not, do you want them one day?

[nerdherdchuck]

[Locked to those who know of his secret life.]

I don't have any children now. I do wonder what it would be like to have them someday though. But, the spy life...I've seen what's done to my family. Both my parents were part of it and both of them were not part of the lives for my sister and I for several years.

Because of the spy life, I honestly thought they abandoned us only to find out, that wasn't quite true. Especially my mom. My mom even had to lie to me to keep her cover in tact when we found her.

So what happens if Sarah and I have kids? Would we be able to be with them? Would missions call us away for months or years on end? I don't know. Plus, there's always the risk that they would be in danger. What would we have to pretend to keep covers and keep them safe?

I guess the short answer is 'I don't know.' It's a decision with a lot to think about, that's for sure.

I think having fun is really the important thing for dances like that. Or any group/party dance like...the Electric Slide or something.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

You are right. When everyone can dance together, it is much more fun.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

*nods* Have you ever done the Electric Slide?

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

No, I have not. Do you know how to do it?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Sorta. It's like 4 steps one way and then four another and a turn or two. I might remember better if I hear the song again.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Do you have an MP3 of it? We could play it here.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I have it on my iPod.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Let me attach that to my computer so you do not have to carry that. *He holds out his hand for the iPod.*

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Okay! *hands Hiro his iPod*

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

*Hiro puts it in the dock and starts it up.* Ok, how do we do the dance?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Okay first, take your right foot and step to the right. Then take your left foot and step towards the right, but cross your left foot a bit behind your right foot. Then, step to the right with the right foot so you uncross your feet. Then you gotta move your left foot so your left and right feet are together.

That's the first part.

*Hiro copies Chuck, though he's definitely slower and being a little overly careful.* That is sort of like line-dancing.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

*nods* It kinda is really.

Ready for the next part?

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Not yet. Perhaps we should do this part again?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Sure, no problem. *He demonstrates the steps again.*

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

*Hiro follows him again, still unsure, but looking a little less uncomfortable.*

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Looks like you're getting the hang of this part.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

So you think we should try the next?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Sure!

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Ok, I am ready. *Not really, but he's willing to try.*

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Well, this part is basically the same as part one, except all the steps are with the opposite feet.

So, take your left foot and step to the left. Then take your right foot and step towards the left, crossing your right foot a bit behind the left foot. Then, step to the left with the left foot, uncrossing your feet. Finally, you gotta step so your left and right feet are together.

And that's part two.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Ok, that helps - it being the same.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. We can practice this part a couple times and then do parts 1 and 2 together and then move onto part 3....if you think that'll help.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a very good plan.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Okay, then let's start from the beginning again.
