For our commute from school to dance I let each girl pick a song. Here lately, my youngest has been on a C+C music Factory kick. Naturally, Vivian yelled out, “Play Everybody Dance Now!” Per her request, I found “Gonna Make You Sweat” in my iPod and turned it up.

Lydia busted out her best Zelma then said, “I’m the electric guitar, what are you all playing?!” As she rocked her air guitar, Sofia replied, “I’m the guitar!” After an argument about being the same instrument, Sofia agreed to be the piano. Of course, she totally lied to her sister in and carried on as the guitar, low enough that Lydia couldn’t see her from the third row of my ginormous mom-mobile.

We all danced and sang horribly out of tune when suddenly, Vivian chimed in, “I’m the cowbell!” I mean really? What about C+C Music Factory screams cowbell? The girls giggled and I had a Saturday Night Live flashback. Regardless, she rocked her best cowbell and belted it out!
