teaching him how to do that.

All right, so what did you get for your birthday, what presents?

you didn't do nothing?

>> Yes.

>> What did you get in trouble for doing nothing about?

What were you doing nothing of?

That's a good, good excuse.

All right, so you've been dancing for a long time.

Why do you like dancing so much?
