Well, we were, until found out the game plan. So the teacher in charge was going to stand back in the middle isle and continue to do the dance in front of the stage facing the kids so they could follow her lead, while us volunteers were supposed to go on stage on both ends to make sure none of the kids went crazy and ran off the stage or something. This meant that we had to dance and sing too. As we were going in, a little boy looked at me and said, "Okay, I really don't want to do this." "You and me both kid," I thought. So we all went on stage, and all did it. Yes, that's right, I did the Ten Commandment Boogie in front of my whole church. (Well, those who went to first service.) The kids suddenly weren't so great at doing the boogie, but at least most of them tried. And I have to say that I did too. I could see my mom watching me as I did this, smiling. And I saw a fellow-volunteer, one who worked second service, smirking at me. So I must say that I felt somehow justified during the second service, when I sat taking pictures as I watched the second-service volunteers do the Ten Commandment Boogie along with those kids. Hypocritical? Maybe. But hey, it is a catchy song... And with that I'm going to leave you with these words:
The Ten Commandment Boogie, gonna dance until I die.... The Ten Commandment Boogie, you can do it so can I..... If you follow it through, you'll be amazed at what you do... so get your groove on with it tonight, do the Ten Commandment Boogie....
