I knew who you were when we first met. I was in shoes, street shoes, and you told me later that you thought I danced jerkily and that was okay because jerky was a style in and as of itself, but I wore tango shoes the next time and you were drunk and you thought holy moly this guy can dance smooth. You laughed a lot in our dances, and you said that you had no idea what your feet were doing, and I said me neither. That made you laugh harder. I asked you if you had done something to have your chakras re-aligned, and you smiled in that way you do and you said that you knew I got it. That made me feel connected and spiritually knowledgeable even though I had no idea what it meant to align chakras.

Children are always noisy, and we try to stay away from frustration and anger (unless we're trying to manipulate, in which it's part of le jeu). We have to be generous. Often the kids have their little worlds, and then the worlds merge, new things are invented, they pretend at marriage, they save the princess, sometimes they just move for the joy of moving.
