Pinchers is basically a cajun restaurant - crawfish, fried alligator, shrimp, etc. We sat out on the patio by the duck pond, and there was Zydeco music being played over a speaker, complete with guy playing spoons on a washboard. A little kid got a washboard & was playing, and that was cute. However, one family came & sat at one of the tables outdoors, and requested some song.. that had the lyrics "show your chest.. wiggle wiggle wiggle".. and her little kids, about 9 and under, are up doing basically dirty dancing. you know, shove your butt out and wiggle it, etc. I was like what kind of mom lets her kids dance like that? the mom was videoing on her iphone the dancing.
Later when we got home, hubby was browsing I think Free Republic, and he came across this cartoon:
I was like "this is SO much the mom that was videoing her kids doing this dancing!, I have to blog about it". I would have done it sooner, but we were busy this weekend. Unfortunately, this is the type of mom that is all too common these days, and it's a sad commentary on the United States.

ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time between the food and the movie...but that bit w/ the dirty-dancing kids...um, yeah, not a good thing to be sure.
Then again, when a society permits such things without restrictions and/or restraints, and we also raise a generation that wouldn't know what is meant by "boundaries" and good taste, this kind of thing will be the result.
I STILL believe that we, as a nation CAN do better...and we'd ALL better start getting with the progtram, like many of us (present company included) already have.
Excellent post...now I want me some crawfish...lol.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day.
Stay safe down there.
The movie was pretty darn good - If you've seen the first two, I'd suggest taking the wife out for a movie night to see the 3rd one.
ReplyDeleteUsually its quiet at Pinchers when we go there - we go during "senior citizen dinner hour" usually - around 5 pm, instead of the 6:30 that we went this time. I think I prefer dining with the seniors than with the "trendeigh" moms and their offspring.
Their crawfish is their own - they grow it, and clean it themselves. Local alligator and shrimp also. Their fried pickle chips are the best, as are their onion rings - light and crispy, the batter really sets off the taste of the onion. (now you can want onion rings too)
