Tucker and I went with my parents to Memphis, TN for my cousin's wedding. After the wedding, 13 of my aunts, uncles and cousins went out on Beale Street in Memphis. My almost 80 year old grandmother came with us. After a beer at the Double Deuce, we went to the Coyote Ugly bar. You know the one, the girls are up on the bar dancing, singing, spanking guys with belts (oh yeah...have to see it to believe how hard they actually do spank!)...anyhoo...After a couple more beers...my cousins and I were deliberating on what Grandma was actually thinking when she was looking up at those girls dancing on the bar, so I went up to her and said "Hey grandma, I'll give you $20 bucks if you get up on the bar and dance!". She replied "keep your money, hold my shoes!" and she jumped on the bar and started dancing with the girls. At first we thought they were going to make her get down (lawsuit waiting to happen with an 80 year old woman dancing on the bar)...but no...she just needed to wear her shoes. I handed them back to her and she went to town! Dancing, shaking what she had. Hilarious! Afterwards, everyone in the bar was coming up to her and shaking her hand, taking pictures with her...she was the star of the bar. I just hope that I can still kick it like grandma when I'm her age. Did I mention that last summer she got up on the water ski's at my parents lake house? That's right! I don't ever want to hear one of my thirty something friends saying they are getting too old to do something. My 80 year old grandma is still kicking ass and taking names!
