Another Moment...
In April 2007 My family (DW, DS(3), DM and myself) went to Mickey's Back Yard Bar-B-Q. I thought this would be fun for my mom because she has never done it before. Well, I forgot that when wine and beer are included, my mom takes this on as a challenge

. Just to calrify, my mom was 71 at the time. So, anyway, as the evening went on my mom was out pacing me 2 or 3 to 1 in drinking both beer and wine

. Our table was full of plastic cups in front of my mom, and she was getting louder by the glass. Yeah people were looking at us

.
Well everybody was having a good time

and we all got out to the dance floor

and my mom was really having a good time dancing with my DS, but then she goes tumbling over on top of my DS in the middle of the floor

. I of course am more worried about my DS, but he was fine. My mom on the other hand wound up breaking her pointer finger (didn't know it then). She did not scream or anything (she was actually quiet) but we all went back to the table and she shoved her fingers in ice and people were asking if she's ok and then noticing all the almost empty beer and wine glasses and giving us that look. My mom is a trooper though and refused any help and we stayed till the end.
I went to Wallgreens and got 2 splints and "set" her pointer and index finger fingers, because she refused to go to the hospital. This happened on the first full day of our week long vacation. Everywhere we went she had to tell everyone what happened; showing off her black and blue fingers in the splints.
Now whenever we go out and ther is drinking, my mom is not allowed to dance with my DS. Nope no way!
