Daily writing prompt
What’s a cultural tradition from another country that you wish existed in yours?
I’m not sure which countries have the most spontaneous public singing and/or dancing—Brazil? Ghana?—but I wish we did more of that here.
I wish it would just happen in the grocery store and other ordinary places. For example, when it’s someone’s birthday in a restaurant, I think everyone should pause and help sing the birthday song.
During the closing credits of the movie The Sheep Detectives, which we saw in a full theater a couple weeks ago, they played I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers. The woman next to me started singing, so of course I joined her, then she stood up and started dancing too. Her kids did not seem at all embarrassed. It was great.
More of that please.

Hopefully the World Cup will help it along in North America. I love watching the players and their fans dance!

Agreed.
The world would be a better place if more people randomly broke into song.

Yes! Maybe a WordPress Challenge? Start a group song or dance and post about it. National anthems don’t count!
