The Southern Woman's Guide to Etiquette for Backyard Barbecues
Okay folks. It's Summertime. Everyone loves to have barbecues, right? Right. Here are a few tips just to make sure you and your host have a lovely time.

If your child calls and tells you that you are invited to a barbecue it is your responsibility to call the parents that are throwing the barbecue and double check that this is in fact true. And if you end up inviting yourself to someone else's barbecue, do not walk into someone else's house empty handed. For Pete's sake the least you could bring is some napkins. I swear. Also, it would be nice if your host even knew your first name instead of (So&so's Mom)That should be your first cue that your child is a lame brain and you might want to consider lobotomizing them for embarrassing the ever lovin' crap outta you.

If you are the host throwing the barbecue, make sure you plan for a few more guests than actually come. (See first rule)

If there will be more than one child at said barbecue make sure you have games and such set up outside. Otherwise you will end up yelling at children that do not belong to you and risk the possibility of offending your guests.

Stay tuned for more tips from the The Southern Woman's Guide to Etiquette.

LOLLOL -- Sounds like an interesting story might be attached to this blog. Personally, I would have no problem -- I would sweetly decline the invitation because I do NOT eat BBQ -- I know, how do I live in the South and not eat BBQ -- it is too tooooooo messy for me. Even as a child I did not like to eat messy foods (plus, I am really picky). To this day when anyone in my family BBQ's, I get a piece of grilled or roasted, deboned chicken breast and plenty of veggies.
