15 and 16. Hand-jiving is SO easy! And karaoke...well, I'm somewhat biased.
I've never hand-jived, so I just wanna try it. & the backstory on all of this (that I conveniently left out...) is that Keegs & I wanted to do a summer list but I decided to make it original so each of the things we've added are either directly quoted from a song, the title, or the music video. & honestly I've never done karaoke! I know it sounds ridiculous (who really hasn't done it) but I really haven't. :X
