Do the Palm Court Strut......

"...swing your butt.
Do the Palm Court Strut.
Swing your butt
Swing it to the left
Swing it to the right
Swing it to the one that you love all night
Swing your booty....all night long"

yeah BABY!

But sadly, somewhere along the way, I managed to raise a pair of prudes, not to be confused with a pair of prunes, although prunes and prudes seem to go together like Jack and Jill...but I digress.

Back to the setting

I play Co's Mardi Gras CD in the car with kiddos in tow yesterday

They LOVE CO.

When are we going to MG again???

When are we going to see J and Miss Co again?

Can I wear my beads to school?

Are we having King's Cake? I WANT the baby this year?

So on and so forth.

Then we get to the "Strut"

BamBam: Mommy....MOMMMY!!!! They said the "B" word

ME: B word...what B word?

Thumper: Mommy, (whispering) they said butt. That's a potty word.

Me: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Uhmmmm...why do you think that's a potty word?

Bambam: My teacher says so

Me (in my best Bill Cosby imitation) Riiiiiiiiiggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhttttttttttt

Me: Who's the mommy?

Boys: You!!! (duh??)

Me: Who makes the rules?

Boys: You!!!

Me: Have I ever told you "butt" is a bad word?

Boys: (looking at each other for confirmation) NO!!!

Me: So let's SING!!!!!

Do the Palm Court Strut.
Swing your butt
Swing it to the left
Swing it to the right
Swing it to the one that you love all night
Swing your booty....all night long

Amen and pass the King's Cake!
