English term or phrase: unable to talk without wiggling around
El mismo contexto de mi pregunta anterior:

"During potty training, accidents happen. Some children have lots of accidents and others only a few. How do you make it to the bathroom in time? If your child is doing "the "pee-pee dance",and is , she probably has to go. Don't even ask, "Do you have to go to the bathroom?" You'll lose too much time. Grab her by the hand, head for the facilities, and sing, "Let's go potty." Any tune will do. "

TIA
