- Our next guest is a man of few words and the cutest little dancer you’ll ever see. From Detroit, Michigan, please welcome Tavaris Jones. Can I have a hug? You love to dance so much, it’s hard to stop you. And I don’t wanna stop you, cuz I love watching you dance. Hey Tavaris, how are you?
- Good.
- Like I said, you’re a man of few words. You wanna move to LA, I understand.
- It’s my Ellen House.
- Your Ellen House. What is your Ellen House?
- A hotel.
- The hotel, you called. You know, it’s not my house. I don’t own that hotel. But call it the Ellen House, tell them to send me some money. Hey, you got recognized at the airport. Do you know you’re a celebrity, do you feel like you are?
- Yes.
- You do. So you feel different since you’ve been on the show? Before you were on the show, you weren’t a celebrity. Now you’re a celebrity.
- Yes.
- How do you feel different?
- Like. I’m impossible.
- Yes, you are. We gave you a bouncy house last time you were here. Are you using it?
- Yes.
- How often?
- All day.
- That’s a lot all day long. And you just turned five, you had a party. What did you do at the party?
- My momma smashed cake in my face.
- Was that fun?
- No.
- No.
- It wasn’t.
- Did you smash it back in her face, too?
- No.
- Maybe you can next year. Well, you’re asking for it, teaching him how to do that. All right, so what did you get for your birthday, what presents?
- I got some candy, toys and some decorations.
- You got decorations? Like Halloween or Christmas or what kind of decorations?
- Paw Patrol decorations.
- Oh, Paw Patrol, I see. And I understand you want a little brother or a little sister.
- Cuz I like little people.
- You like little people? Are you working on a little person for him?
- No, not even.
- But he wants one. So, and you’re the captain of your class, what does that mean?
- I got in trouble, I didn’t do nothing.
- Okay. You just got in trouble, but you didn’t do nothing?
- Yes.
- What did you get in trouble for doing nothing about? What were you doing nothing of?
- Cuz I was just standing there.
- Just standing there? That’s a good, good excuse. All right, so you’ve been dancing for a long time. Why do you like dancing so much?
- Cuz I’m in charge.
- Well, that’s true. You’re in charge when you dance. You’re an amazing dancer, too.
- I was a baby.
- You started dancing when you were a little, tiny baby.
- My cousin Thea took a picture of that.
- Yeah, you started dancing early. All right, so you’re gonna dance for us right now, right?
- Yes.
- All right, that was good.
- Yeah.
- That was really good. You’ve got some new moves there. What’s this one called when you scoop down and getting something off the ground? What’s that called?
- Uh-huh.
- Like this?
- Yep.
- Yeah, I’m gonna do that. I got you a birthday present. I know it’s a little late, but I’m just seeing you for the first time. So, can you bring out his birthday gifts? It’s good, right?
- Yes.
- Yeah.
- All right, we’ll be right back.
