He may never have a girlfriend if I share this.

I’m not sure what my willingness to show it to you anyway says about me as a mother. But let’s not dwell on that. Instead, let’s spend some time in your life that you will NEVER GET BACK together, shall we?
Braden and I like to have “Elaine Benes” dance parties together. Nobody on this earth is allowed to see what we do when we crank the music. Not even my husband. If some poor, unsuspecting person happened upon us… well. I would say that I’d have to kill that person, but I’m sure they’d find the nearest cliff to jump off of themselves, unable to bear living with the mental images of what they’ve seen.
Today Braden started busting a move and then perfected it and began repeating it over and over again, and really, what is a dedicated, tech-savvy, camera obsessed mom supposed to do? Film that shit, suckas. I was not disappointed with my decision. I did have trouble trying not to laugh, which just resulted in a squeaky, half-assed muted laugh. All in all, this video is the worst video you might ever decide to watch.

Lotus

He misses you so very much. Maybe even more than I do. *maybe*

Way cute! And you are right! He has that move perfected! He landed almost the same every time!
Lotus
He is far more precise than I, and it makes me just a bit jealous. (You should be very afraid of my dancing skills right about now.)

Thank you. I needed a laugh like that today. Nothing better than a cute kid!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this is pretty entertaining!

Craig
I think I’ve witnessed his father bust moves like this onstage before…
Lotus
Oh, Craig. This seriously made me laugh out loud. And? I know it’s probably also more true than anyone realizes.

That is too funny…I had to watch it twice
Lotus
Braden asks to watch it every night before bed now. And laughs his freaking ass off. (Me too.) I think maybe I should even post a reaction video. Hah!

So cute! My girls do ballet moves. Maybe that is the difference between boys and girls?
Lotus
If so, I am NOT A GIRL.

That dude is smooooooooth. But when did his hair get to be so dark?

Lotus
Aw, you noticed. He’s leaning towards his momma’s hair color these days. Mine was blonde as a kiddo, too! That’s okay, he’ll keep Daddy’s eye color.

Umm, you’re totally dancing next time I see you, then. I have to see the adult version of that!
Lotus
Only for you, Adam.

Too cute. That Flashdance move in the middle is totally getting him to Julliard.

I know *exactly* what you’re talking about and I super love you for noticing it. That has been cracking me up extra hard every time I watch it!

love it!

That is awesome! but really, I’m just jealous that much of your house is clean enough to share on the internet. Dude. There is still Christmas in my living room.
Lotus
Just cleaned up the last remnants of Christmas this week! Well, except the Poinsettia. I can’t bear to throw out a plant just because it has a seasonal stigma. Heh.

I may or may not have just peed a little, trying not to explode in laughter in the middle of a cubicle maze. That kid is pretty spectacular.
Lotus
Hee, I think so too. I also bet you a million dollars that Braden would find it hilarious if I told him that video almost made you pee. In fact, I will tell him. I’ll report back to you with his reaction. This should be fun….
Twitter: SarcasticMomLC
Lotus
I just told him and he said, “SHE ALMOST PEED ON HERSELF!?” And I said, “Yes, what do you think about that?” and he giggled and said, “That is VERY funny.”
So there ya have it.

Oh no, he’ll *totally* have girlfriends. Did you see his wicked gangster break-dancing moves? Of course you did, you were the smart mother who filmed it as proof. Epic win for Braden.

Lotus
He *is* a pretty tight break-dancer, isn’t he? I better start breaking down some cardboard boxes!

Connie
That is EPIC~~BEAST (that’s the latest teenager talk according to my 15 year old
)!! Future ‘Dancing With The Stars’ contestant in the making! Just sayin… 
Lotus
That just totally affirmed for me that I am old and have NO idea what the kids are talking about these days.

I’ve had this one saved for a while, as I’ve been at work when I hit your feed, and well, they frown on laughing until you cry. That was super cute, and worth the wait. I’m still giggling.
Lotus
That gave me a big smile. So glad you find it as cute as I do. I still laugh every single time I watch i!
