The Post-Dinner Dance Party

After dinner, the narrator and his children have a tradition of clearing the dining room and having a dance party. They move the table, play a post-dinner dance party playlist, and start dancing to the music. The children showcase their unique dance moves, with the daughter flinging her limbs like an offbeat octopus, and the son doing the robot. The narrator even joins in by doing the worm on the ground. The energy and fun escalate as the music gets louder and the dancing becomes more energetic. It's a joyful and spontaneous moment for the family.
