Why don't we do it in the road?


Dad: [singing out loud, but to himself]
Why don't we do it in the road?
Why don't we do it in the road?
No one will be watching us,
Why don't we do it in the road?
Nat: DAD?!!!
Dad: What?
Nat: DAD?!! You know!
Dad: I know? I know what?
Nat: That song! You know what that song means! . . .Don't you?
Dad: What song?
Nat: You know! Why don't we do IT...!!!
Dad: Huh? IT? What are you talking about?
Nat: IT! You know, doing IT! The song is talking about doing IT!
Dad: Uh, that's not what I'm talking about!
Nat: No? What are you talking about?
Dad: First off, IT could be anything. They don't mention what IT is. They could be talking about thumb wrestling, for all I know.
Noah: Thumb wrestling! That's silly! Why would you want to thumb wrestle in the middle of the road?
Nat: Why would they want to do IT in the middle of the road? That's what I'm talking about.
Noah: Yeah, it does seem like a dumb thing to do, right?
Dad: No, no, no. It is not like that.
Nat: Well, what do you think it is about?
Dad: Dancing!
Nat and Noah: Dancing?!!!
Dad: Yeah, dancing. Haven't you heard the saying, "Dance like no one is watching?"
Nat and Noah: No! [laughing hysterically]
Dad; Yeah, that's why they're saying, "No one will be watching us..." You want to dance like no one is watching!
Noah: You mean like this?!!! [dances very silly while two people walk by and stare]
Nat: Um, exactly Noah! [head gestures towards the onlookers]
Noah: [dances even sillier]
Dad: That's the spirit!

(with my apologies to the Beatles!)
