My teenager caught me doing the floss dance in the kitchen this morning. Not the dental kind. He just shook his head and said 'Dad please stop, you're embarrassing yourself in front of no one.' Mission accomplished.
Retro is the perfect way to spin it. Your teenager will eventually realize that being dorky is actually cool. And the floss dance? That's gold.
The real question is did you nail the dance or was it more of a train wreck? Either way I'm here for it.
This made me laugh. My three year old asked me yesterday why I dance like I don't have bones. Kids really know how to keep us humble.
Your teenager's reaction is priceless. At least you're cool enough to do the floss dance, even if he won't admit it. My oldest pretends not to know me in public so this tracks.
Retro is the way to market it. That's what I do when my kids cringe at me. I just lean into it harder.

I got caught doing the same thing last week. The look on their face when parents try to be cool is priceless. But hey, at least you're trying to stay young at heart.
