Tonight is the Junior-Senior Prom. Mr. A is going with a group of friends including the most recent girl who just wants to be friends. I don't think he's too thrilled about going but I know he'll have a great time.
Prom is another teenage milestone that's whizzing by way too fast. I hope I don't have Mom Moment when I see all the kids dressed in their finery. I don't think I'll freak about the Prom itself because the kids are riding in a limo and I know they'll be safe. The visible signs that they're hurtling toward adulthood is what will get me.
Also, I might be a little jealous. I didn't go to my Senior Prom because I had mono. Yep, I got jipped. The closest I ever got to Prom was one day visiting the country club where the Tuxedo jacket got its name.
I promise to post Prom photos next week. In the meantime, does anyone have any good Prom stories?

Both of my boys went to so many proms and ring dances, their school, other schools, and after they graduated. I finally told them that if they went to any more they were paying for their own tuxes, limos, etc... After that mandate, the oldest only went to one more! Hope your son has a fabulous time.
Mono is certainly bad, but so is getting dumped by your boyfriend 3 weeks before Prom because you wouldn't "put out." Ah, youth!
I just made it through "my" first prom - with my daughter, that is. And she was ticked because I gave her a 1am curfew - but I know what goes on at those all night prom parties! (wink, wink!)
My date took me to prom in a dump truck. His dad was a contractor. He figured, "If I'm not in a limo...the ride might as well be memorable."
He was very romantic and pulled out a stool for me to climb up into the way-too-tall truck.
It must have worked. I married the guy.
How fast they grow...sigh.
I never got to go to the prom, that was only for the kids who actually got to be a senior. I was stupid and quit.
