The no-dance dance.

Apparently there is a "pre-teen" dance next week, geared towards my son's age.  I asked him if he was interested in getting some friends together and going to the dance.

I was told the word "dance" made him feel funny.  I asked, "What should I call it?"   

He suggested:  "How about you say, 'Do you want to go have fun with your friends and hang out with a DJ?'  Then I may want to go."

Oh.  I see.  That sounds way cooler.
