A pearl of wisdom

This weekend I went away with my family to the seaside town of Whitstable in Kent. Most of the towns population are parents, OAP's and the just finished uni students. It was not just a family weekend break, but a learning experience. It started with a gig/ concert with a great ska band called the Eskalators and followed by a comic poet called John Hegly. The poet wasn't great as his heart wasn't in the performance and the one liners/ private jokes were lost on us DFL's (Down from London). The band was great, everyone was dancing and me and my mother were 'skanking' away, whilst we were dancing I asked my mother could we go to an event mentioned to us by a family friend called Mothers Old Vinyl's (a disco). We went to the disco and partied away, and it made me think why are the youth so ashamed of their parents, when they can implant some of their wisdom and knowledge to them about music and dance. I really learnt how to really loosen up and physically express myself on the floor with the 'monkey' and 'twist'. It certainly raised a few eyebrows from the villagers.

It is now clear why parents are there other than to look after their charges, they're there to pass on valuable knowledge and wisdom about everything like music and how to dance in a disco using the long forgotten moves of the yesteryear.
