Nobody's Opinion

Rubber Legs

Nobody Cares—

That if you gave me the choice between watching Dancing with the Stars and watching these guy…no contest, this gets my vote.

Nobody is posting this because my dad used to dance JUST like this guy, they called him rubber legs. And the story told to me by my parents was that one night, my dad asked my mom to dance, on a boat here in St. Louis, called the Admiral. Which had a huge ballroom dance floor back in the 1940’s. Dad was in his sailor outfit, and mom was in her sexy little skirt, and the very first time they danced, they cleared the floor and every one on the boat formed a circle around them and clapped because they could do THIS. Back then it was called a Jitterbug Jive, mixed with a “Jersey Bounce.”

But my dad, would also jump high in the air and come down on the other side of my mom, with a BIG grin on his face..and there you go. They got married a year later and then their kids had to learn how to do this.

It may not look hard, but try to keep it up.

Rubber legs, I miss ya. And I would give a year of my life just to do this one…more…time with you.

So men, remember to dance with your daughters…they will love you forever for it.

Enjoy! (Thanks to Tom Beebe)
