I think every family has a silly thing. Ours is re-enacting scenes from musicals. Yes, musicals.

Those musicals range anywhere from Oliver to West Side Story to Les Miserables. But they are all musicals.

Any night after dinner, we might be known to literally break into family song and do a kickline or a box step around the kitchen. When Jaclyn was in India, a lovely local co-worker hosted a Shabbat dinner for her and a few friends. After the prayers over the wine and Indian made challah, they proceeded to re-enact the wedding scene from Fiddler on the Roof, chair dance and all. I guess our silly family thing has crossed continents.

My son did not escape this family fate. Of course, he has the best voice among us, so it is a slightly different experience when Eric participates. One of my new favorite videos was taken by his girlfriend, recording Eric and Bill re-enacting the theme song from the sitcom Two and a Half Men in our kitchen.

I suppose I should end this blog by saying if you are every interested in dinner and a show, you are invited to my house for a barbeque.

Anyone brave enough to share your family silly thing?
