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.

Actually, it is.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Perhaps a break from this will help me with the other.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Wanna take a break from the Electric Slide then?

*Hiro nods.* I think my body wants to do something else for a moment.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Okay. Chicken Dance, it is.

The first two steps you basically mimic clucking and wing flapping. Then you shimmy down a bit and then clap, all to the music.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

What music?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I'll have to pull up the music so we can listen to it.

*Hiro gestures to the computer he's got Chuck's iPod attached to.* Be my guest.

*finds a sound file of The Chicken Dance and plays it for Hiro*

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

That is silly.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

*plays the sound file again, this time demonstrating the first four parts of the dance*

See...first you cluck, then you flap your wings and then you shimmy down with your hands behind your back for your feathers and then clap four times.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

*He makes a rather silly chicken.* Clap four times with my hands behind my back?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Oops. I goofed that part. No, when it comes time to clap, you bring your hands to the front to clap.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

That makes it much easier.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's a pretty easy one. Then after that, the music swells for a moment. Depending on the room we have, we'd either walk around in a circle or sway back and forth until the 'na-na-na-na-nah' part starts again.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

We walk around like chickens or just walk around?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Whenever I did the circle thing, we just walked in a circle. Not like a chicken, just normally.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

But if it is the chicken dance, should you not stay a chicken the entire time?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Probably. I guess people just do the chicken stuff at the na-na-nah-na-na-nahs since it sounds more like a clucking chicken.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I suppose. But I still think a chicken dance should actually be all a chicken dance.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

It should be. But I guess it could be if there's a group of people willing to do it that way.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

We should do it that way.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Okay!

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

So, now we walk around like chickens, neh?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I guess we could do that by flapping our arms up and down?
