First of all let me just preface that my husband and I share a brain. We love practical jokes and quoting funny movies (CaddyShack and Tommy Boy are our favorites.) We also like to do stupid stuff. Now remember, what we consider stupid and fun might be regarded as pathetic to others since we have been married for almost a decade and have two little boys that never let us leave that house that much. But when we do go out...Look out! Freak shows on parade!
So when my husband Dylan asked me to chaperone the prom with him (he's a high school teacher) Well hell, we went all out. He took me out for a great meal, got me flowers, did all the prom things high school kids do. I told him that there was no pressure to impress. I was a sure thing after all (after two kids the thrill of the chase is more like the thrill of the "roll over and ask nice."
TMI. Just kidding.
I have to say I had a great time. Much different from my other prom experiences. For one, I was sober the whole time, second I got to bed before dawn. Third, it didn't involve sleeping in the bathtub of a seedy hotel room in my date's tux (Sophmore year), throwing up on my science teacher's Lexus ( Junior prom) or singing the ABC's to my college boyfriend wasted at four in the morning to prove I wasn't drunk while my hookup of the night is sitting next to me holding cue cards ( Senior Ball).
Very tame in comparison, but fun just the same. We still know how to have a good time which is why I posted the picture below. "The Anti Prom Pic (I don't know why I am holding tin foil)
