My moms girls night out's took place in the mid 80's. We had gone to south central to visit my cousin Belinda (close to my moms age) and her daughter Diana. This conversation had taken place after a few beers. All I kept observing was my mother and older cousin say things like "I remember this song when I was living at this place and would go out with these old friends I used to have." At least that is my translation because she said it in Spanish. Then I thought to myself they were young and had girlfriends once and went out dancing they had girls night out but they called it going to the "baile" that means dance in Spanish. I loved the idea of my mother being in her 20s and going out to dance with her girlfriends even remembering those times lit up her face. Girls night out is not just and excuse to get drunk well maybe it is lol but it's an experience that you will look back on once you get older and have children. It's a timeless memory in your head that you will play over and over when you hear those familiar songs. It's an experience. So why not share such a cool and fun experience with the people I love most my built in friends for life, cousins and yes of coarse my bad ass momma!
