Calvin and Hobbes strikes again! You know the great thing about a story like this is, even if we never did it when we were a child, we most defiantly thought about it. Now if we have children and find them doing it, how shocked can we really be? How difficult is it not to laugh?

“…can I keep dancing?” – that’s precious

Wonderfully told, I was almost hoping for the mother embrace her inner child, and dance in the buff also.

I just want to hug him! You know, once he gets his clothes on.

This was beautifully told, very adorable.

Tiniest, nitpicky-est thing ever: unless I’m mistaken, there should be an apostrophe at the end of dancin’.

Super cute. I think you nicely captured the way a kid might feel when he gets caught doing something he vaguely knows he shouldn’t be doing, but which doesn’t really feel wrong. . .I also love the mother’s exasperation. The pacing was great, too.
