It's you I love

A companion to the last one of Buzz and Jessie -- Woody and Bo Peep rock a little do-si-do. I'll tell you guys, brother might be a toy, but he's got a smile that could light up L.A. County. I was sitting here drawing this, and blushing like a sixth-grader with a crush. You girls feel me on this?

I harbor a secret love of square dancing. I'ma tell you a little story.

Years ago, I went with my mom to a barn riot her church was throwing. You had to dress up in your best cowboy gear, and everybody brought snacks, and they played tunes and the pastor MC'ed some square dances. Well, it was mostly a middle-aged crowd except for me and this couple in their 20's who were dressed up in cowboy boots and hats and overalls with the cuffs rolled up. They looked like they were having the time of their lives, and they danced the whole night without stopping.

Somebody put on "Electric Slide", and these two, I mean, they ripped it up. They kicked up their heels, wearing huge grins, high-fiving between steps. Their unselfconsciousness made everyone else forget about looking silly. They were having so much fun that everyone else got into it, too. I was always pretty shy about dancing, but ever since then, if I'm feelin' it, I go for it. Everyone else should, too.
