This is what happens when my mother starts getting comfortable on YouTube...


Aside from the hilarity I find in my mother wandering around on YouTube this video also gives a great example of why I love older Black women so much. You know the kind that treat you like you're their niece/nephew even if you don't know 'em from a can of paint. And I mean "love" as in, enjoy their personalities.

This Obama Hustle is something my grandmother would jump right into and learn if she was in Detroit at the Grendadier Club. No introductions necessary. Just some music, a bunch of other women doing a line dance, and BAM! She's right up there joining in like she's known these women all her life. Same with my mother. Maybe this is why I almost always feel obligated to get up and do the cupid shuffle at every wedding I attend. It's in my blood.

And I can't finish this post without say that we (Black folks) stay coming up with some daggon dances, I swear!
