When everyone screams “Throw me something Mister!”
And is thrilled by the thought of catching beads, stuffed animals, or even better…
A SHOE!
Just to throw them away the next day.
When everyone walks around in the same striped shirt with the little crawfish,
When it’s impossible to find an available streetcar,
When everyone eats a diet of king cake and gumbo,
When Cajun music fills the air,
When the whole city comes together,
You know it’s Mardi Gras time in New Orleans
