Thriller came out when I was in the first grade. My parents bought me the record, and I would open it to expose Michael in a white suit with the tiger cub, and give him little kisses.
My elementary school hosted a MJ day, where we were encouraged to dress up as Michael OR wear all of our MJ paraphernalia. So, I dressed in my 3/4 sleeve screened t-shirt, one woven glove and a zippered coat with lots of MJ buttons.
The principal came around to all of the classrooms and asked those of us that dressed if we were ready for the big contest. I (being 6), got in line and followed all the rest of the kids to the music room. As I stood with the other kids in the music room, I listened as each kid was introduced to the stage to be in a MOONWALK CONTEST...WHAT? I thought that this contest was to determine who had the best clothes? So, I cried. I walked over to the principal and told him that I didn't want to Moonwalk...I wanted my mom.
You know...I never did learn how to moonwalk.

Remember how Julie and I used to listen to "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" in our room (you had to hear it... as close as you were) and that ridiculous dance of hers she used to do??
I remember being in second grade and a bunch of kids in my class running around wearing one glove...
yes Amanda...I totally remember that. I also remember you changing the words and singing them in the Commons as we waiting for mashed potatos..."Enough with the bone stroke. Don't stop til you get it up"
