Prom

I'm adding to the problem by writing this blog about prom. By giving this subject attention, I'm adding to the hysteria surrounding it. Everyone talks about prom-- or their lack of attendance at the prom.

Prom was fun. I went my friend George. I loved my dress. It was short and red and (see picture!) it had a bow. However, I didn't spend lots of money. I used barely half of my Big Boy check, actually, probably a fourth (and my boss used to deduct money out of our check because he thought people were stealing pecan rolls). I love deals.

But prom was prom. It was over with and my date was on crutches. Yes, it was fun. But I really doubt I'm going to talk to my children about it. I don't like the tinge of sadness people have when they talk about missing their prom. There is soooo much more to life.
