hahaha I believe "You find yourself tap dancing when you have to pee" has Gabi's name written all over it! I also get made fun of by my friends here, because whenever we're listening to music there's some song that I say... "Oh! I had a dance to this..." I miss my dance friends! No one else understands me quite the same as you all! :-)
Funny!
Thanks for sharing, Gabi! Now go do your homework!
