Do you remember the absolute soul-crushing mortification when a teacher would dance at one of your high school dances? I do! But then again, I get mortified when someone does something embarrassing on TV. I still laugh uncomfortably when I think about the original British Office and David Brent performing "Free Love Freeway" for the first time. Tim saying, "He went home to get it." about David's guitar is quite possibly the best acting by any any actor ever.
I digress.
Here are a few snippets from Prom 2017 that I'd like to share:
-My wife and I were almost taken out on the dance floor by a boy with a tie tied around his head.
-I'm proud of that boy, he's doing it right.
-We did make it happen on the dance floor and strangely THEY LOVED IT!
-Ira would absolutely love dances.
-At least three distinct and ongoing chess games broke out over the course of the night. This was not viewed as odd.
-At my first formal dance in high school, I wore my Dad's too big coat and one of his ties. Within seconds of walking in an older guy asked me if I was heading to a funeral home.
-As a functioning 37 old male, I am finally, mercifully, (but not really) letting that moment go.
