Alan,
I’m fairly certain I partied more as a kid than I do now.

PR Mom,
As I wrote this, I thought of you and figured you might be able to relate.

P3000,
Exactly. I learned from my parents. They were always at the center of whatever was going on.

Chispa,
I went to my friend’s birthday party. He and his dad were celebrating their 25th and 50th birthdays, respectively. It was one of those backyard mainly family parties. They had a mariachi and after a DJ playing all kinds of Mexican music. I danced a lot that night, but kept noticing the kids on the periphery. There was a girl who seemed like she wanted to dance, but was too shy. And then there were the kids running through the dancers. It took me back to being one of those kids, dancing in between games of hide-n-seek.

Irasali,
Thanks. It’s funny how I’d sing along to that song without realizing what I was saying.

Cindy this was a great entry! What prompted you to write about this? I can often relate to some of your stories – thanks for helping me bring back the flashbacks of being “little.”

Great post.
So that explains why you are the life of most parties.

girl, you described my childhood perfectly. Except my Dad’s band was named Perfil and my Dad was the drummer.

Funny, my sister and i used to get dressed up too back when our parents would attend parties, id run around all over the place. My dad also used to play in the bands at the parties! Seems like you partied hard.
