Mandy stands on the soft rug. Mum stands close. The bedroom lamp glows warm. Mandy claps. Mum claps too.
“Dance time!” says Mum.
Mandy wiggles her hips. Mum wiggles too. Mandy giggles. Mum giggles back. They stomp, stomp, stomp. The floor goes thump-thump-thump.
Mandy twirls. Her skirt goes *whoosh*. Mum twirls. Her hair goes *swish*. Mandy tries a big hop. *Boing!*
Then—*plop!*
Mandy’s sock slips off. It flies through the air and lands right on Mum’s head.
Mum freezes. “Oh no. I am a sock-hat!”
Mandy laughs so hard. “Sock-hat! Sock-hat!”
Mum marches like a silly duck. *Quack-quack!* Mandy copies her.
