Gas station moves

Audrey generally gets to be entertained when we stop to buy gas. Usually with a game of peek-a-boo by the one outside the car getting the gas. Lots of giggles as one of us pops up and down, in and out of sight. Audrey decided to skip her nap today (definitely not our idea), and she was starting to run out of steam when we stopped to get gas today. It has become so routine that I didn't even think to turn around to see what was going on. Until I see something out of the corner of my eye.

Eric is dancing. A lot.

I take a look at Audrey's reaction. Mouth wide open. Staring at her daddy.

"Is daddy being silly?"

Long pause.

Audrey: "Yessss??"

And then I see it. The lady getting gas on the other side of the shared pump. Laughing. Hysterically. Did she see a toddler in the back seat, being entertained by this gas station dancer? Likely not. She and I both started laughing when Eric did a backwards move and ran into the side mirror.

I couldn't even look at him when he got in the car, and felt compelled to break him the news that he had not just entertained Audrey during that fill up.

As we drive away, I turn around and see Audrey reenacting her daddy's dance moves, thumbs in the air and all...
