Homecoming

Saturday night - hot rollers cooling off, discarded shoes and purses, mint wrappers...How in the world is my little girl old enough to be a high school freshman, going to her first homecoming dance? And let me tell you, things sure have changed in 25 years. Going to an all girl school and dating boys from an all boy school meant we had dates to high school dances (and double the amount of dances to go to). Now, the school has gone co-ed - so they go in groups, which is just fine by me. They were so cute, all dressed up - 4 boys, 3 girls, eating at one of the boys houses, in the fancy dining room. Lots of laughter...my first dance, I don't think anyone spoke a word at dinner. Then I totally did the mom thing and took pictures and off to the dance. Dropped the kids off - and in they went.


Here is what I found out in the dance post mortem: Every 5th kids was given a breathalyzer, bags were handed out to put anything then they didn't want to carry around i.e. phones, purses, shoes and they were checked, only fast songs were played, and they sold pop, water, etc...This is so vastly different then the spiked punch bowls, the shoes thrown in the corner, stumbling around looking for your date dances we went to. THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!
