New Teenage Fad-'the DAB dance'-huh? Congressional Ceremony

A teen age faux pas and he is grounded. If he was mine he would have been confined to his room for the weekend where I could take him to task every hour on the hour until he understood his place in the hierarchy. Then I'd forgive him because he is not yet fully grown up.

I may be an old fart, but I think interfering with or interjecting yourself into such a ceremony is inappropriate and disrespectful.

I completely agree he's old enough to know better deliberate and disrespectful ruining the ceremony.
 
So What?

The dab is a dance move in which the dancer simultaneously drops the head while raising an arm and the elbow in a gesture that has been noted to resemble sneezing.[SUP][1][/SUP] As a Sports Illustrated article about the phenomenon described the dab, "The dance is pretty simple; one leans in to their elbow like they’re sneezing."

He's grounded for that? Need to laugh a little.
 
I, don't care if he was doing the Charleston, it was rude and inappropriate. my son would have got more than a bit of grounding. The boy seems old enough to know what decent behavior is. It was not his day and he should have respected that or not gone. I think it is appalling.
 
He is as his parents raised him, but the children of even very strict parents have been known to make faces before a camera when they shouldn't. This situation was a bit more high stakes but unless his parents had a word in his ear prior to the swearing in, his immature thinking would not have seen it in the same light as the adults present.

It was rude Jeannine, my son would have never done that, as a kid I wouldn't even make faces during family photos and definitely not during an important event like that. Every day something new amazes me. :rolleyes:
 
This situation reminds me of all of the little sidebar lectures we received from our parents in the car before we went into a function and the look that followed if we started to stray, I'm not sure that happens enough these days.

He's a kid, he took a shot, he got spanked, hopefully it will be a learning experience for him and if he doesn't learn from it we have the video for an instant replay, LOL!!!

I agree, Jeannine. He's old enough to know better. That was completely disrespectful and not amusing.
 
I'd be more embarrassed about that unfortunate campaign photo at the bottom. But that's me.
