A Day at the D.A.'s

Marianne: I always won the Easter hat contest.
JJ: I always won the Easter dance concert.

-------------------------------------------------------

When JJ was younger, his parents and neighbor's parents would make all the kids gather and dance for them. They were always the Jackson 5 and JJ was the youngest, so of course, he was Michael. It cracks me up when I think about little JJ in his white Easter suit and white shoes doing the "I Want You Back" dance. I wish I won dancing contests when I was younger.

--------------------------------------------------------

JJ and I were in his office when Marianne walked in giddily holding her ipod and said, "Grace, remember what we were going to have JJ do?" I didn't remember. JJ and I just stared at one another. Marianne finally found her song. She held her earphones up so that we could hear the oh-so-familiar opening of " I Want You Back". Marianne and I both smiled at JJ. He knew what we wanted.

JJ stood up, moved over to the 2.5 feet of open space in his office and stepped perfectly to the Jackson 5 choreography. It was ... awesome.

Marianne: Hey, Grace. Look at me.
(I look over and see that Marianne has put her earphones on her eyes. She's squinting really hard to keep them in place.)
Marianne: My eyes are playing music.
(Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" is blaring from Marianne's eyes.)
