One advantage (or disadvantage depending on your perspective) of being a high school teacher is chaperoning prom. I went to my high school prom and, if I'm being honest, it really wasn't that fun. I went with a nice young man, but it's not like going with your husband, which is your best friend. Also, when you are in high school, the entire day is scheduled...hair, nails, pictures, eating, etc. Well, when you are an adult going to prom (that does sound a little weird:) ) you're not really worrying about all of those superficial things. I mean, you are going with your spouse, whose has seen you in the MORNING. Plus, you already attracted him, so who do you have to impress!!! However, Josh did look very nice! On May 14th, Josh and I went out to eat with two other couples, Crad and Tessa Jaggers (both teach at North and Crad coaches football) and Rondale and Alison Langley (Alison teaches at school and Rondale is an assistant coach of the baseball team.) We met at Ginza and had a great meal. Sometimes it is nice to have an adult only meal that does not require any ketchup or food to be cut up!!!
When we arrived at prom, we spent time finding and taking pictures of our students. The kids love to show off their dresses and tuxes. They do look so nice...such a contrast to everyday in class. After a couple of hours of socializing with the students and other teachers, we headed on home. It was fun to spend the evening socializing with friends and reminiscing about our own high school days. Prom 2011 was a fun night for all, even the teachers!
