My daughter caught me doing my 'dad dance' in the kitchen while making coffee this morning. She said 'Please tell me nobody else saw that.' I said 'Dont worry, your embarrassment is my superpower.' She groaned and left the room. Parenting win.
This is gold. The kitchen is prime performance space honestly. No stage like the kitchen at 7am with a cup of coffee in hand.
Did she laugh or was she mortified? Either way you're doing it right. That's the kind of stuff they'll remember fondly when they're older, trust me.
Dude, at 3 AM with my toddler refusing to sleep I'd be thrilled to have the energy for a kitchen dance. You're living the dream.
The fact that you landed the punchline makes this even better. That's exactly the kind of move that'll be a core memory for her, even if she won't admit it now.
Ha! This is peak dad energy right here. My boys caught me doing air guitar with a spatula last week and I got the same look of pure embarrassment from them.
This is gold. The moment they start noticing is the moment you know you've won at dad life. Embrace the embarrassment, that's the secret ingredient.
Ha! The dad dance is a rite of passage. My kids have caught me doing the full shuffle-step thing to my podcast intro music more times than I'd like to admit. At this point I just lean into it.

The dad dance is a rite of passage! My kids walked in on me doing full choreography to an 80s song last month. The judgment in their eyes was real.
She caught you in your element! These are the moments they'll actually remember fondly even if they're cringing now.
