My youngest son just had their JS prom last night. He got home with one of the widest smile I’ve ever seen so I figured he really enjoyed the affair. It was pretty late when I came to pick him up and since I was getting drowsy, I decided I do the grilling the next day. It’s always a welcome treat for mothers to be given a blow-by-blow detailed account of what transpired last night. That’s what usually happens if you’re not there to personally witness the affair. At least, my son is going to have a memorable and happy thoughts in this second to the last program (his graduation from high-school, since he’s a senior already) of their school.
