Breakdance

When you walk into Third Federal, the first thing you see is yourself... on our security TV. It becomes entertainment when kids come into the branch. Some, frequent bank robbers, already know of the TV, and come in dancing. (They also know where the suckers are, and leave skid marks on the floor when they round the corner running.) Others don't notice the TV at first, and don't believe it's real. They test it, slowly raising an arm, running left and right, jumping up and down, while the whole time watching themselves carefully. Once they figure the big TV secret out, they begin dancing.

I haven't figured out why they dance. Perhaps it's just a adrenaline rush, to see themselves on TV dancing away. What I have figured out, is that every child who notices themselves on camera begins to dance. For some it takes a few minutes, other will wait until Mom is dragging them out the door before they do a quick shimmy. But they all dance.

I think it's something we all need to do more often. Perhaps it would make us happier.


Moral of the story: Don't come into Third Federal angry and mean, I may make you dance in front of the security camera while eating a rootbeer lollipop.
