and love in our homes and out there that needs to be seen.
Goodness, I particularly love seeing children do the dance. They just instantly connect and want to do it! Yes! the second video really set the standard for the BP Challenge! And was my go-to, as well. Thank You for sharing your slice of life. Now, that brightened my day  |

My mom and grandmother also tried to get into it, too. It was all kinds of multi-generational fun!
Your post was a welcomed ray of black sunshine, Kind of Blue. Thanks, again.  |

8. Oh, spicysista, I had to let this sink in for a few days.

Too many memories you've conjured up. I wish my parents were alive to hear of your multi-generational fun. It seems like a small thing but something we enjoyed like magic almost on a daily basis. I remember the grand kids saying to their African grandapa, "You killed it but why do you make those crazy faces when you're dancing?" He said, "There's nothing pretty about killing something." And "You better dance like Everybody is watching! How are you going to get any good at it???"
 Or my mom, on her doctor trips butt dancing to old school rap, always saying I grew up with you kids. "Thank God for hip-hop!"
They were the two grooviest people I've ever known and I thank you, again, for sharing your mom and grand-mom with me because I can experience the laughter and be right there in joy as if it was happening now. And that's a blessing. Thank you so much

This, so much! Thanks for sharing with me, Kind of Blue. Your family sounds very familiar, Lol!
There's so much pain and hurt throughout the diaspora. Trauma from the past passed down through our DNA. We need to be able to smile more often. Your posts, not just this thread, always make me smile or think. I see you, Kind of Blue.
