A professional dancer came home one evening looking unusually proud of himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His wife raised an eyebrow and asked, \u201cWhy are you grinning like you just won the lottery?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dancer puffed out his chest and said, \u201cAt tonight\u2019s competition, the audience gave me a standing ovation! People were cheering, clapping, shouting my name\u2014the whole place went wild!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His wife smiled. \u201cThat\u2019s wonderful! What happened?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell,\u201d he said, \u201cduring my grand finale, I leaped into the air, spun three times, landed on one foot, and slid across the stage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWow,\u201d said his wife. \u201cThat sounds impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was!\u201d he replied. \u201cThe crowd couldn\u2019t stop laughing and applauding!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His wife looked confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes! They absolutely loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDear,\u201d she said, trying not to laugh herself, \u201care you sure they were applauding the dance?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course they were!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She pulled out her phone and showed him a video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There he was on stage\u2026 slipping on his own cape, spinning completely out of control, crashing through the orchestra\u2019s music stand, and accidentally knocking over the judge\u2019s table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dancer stared at the screen in horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo\u2026 they weren\u2019t cheering for my performance?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His wife grinned and said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
