tonight is my kid's prom. As neither my husband nor I attended the prom in our high school days, I had no idea what to expect, in terms of needs.
Last month we got the dress, shoes, and undergarments. A mahu relative in the biz got us the dress for dirt cheap, which looked more like a costume from Dreamgirls than anything else.
But today...
got the hair done by another mahu relative.
got the face rhinolined by yet another mahu relative.
Ma! Can we go to Claire's? I want to wear elbow-lengthed gloves! (WTF??)
Ma! What about the lei?
What lei?
Ma, we need a lei for the Date®.
You didn't say anything about a lei. Why didn't you say anything about this before? Where are we going to find a lei right now? (this was 4pm this evening).
Call yet another Very Important Relative and look for the maile hookup. Shrugmhuminarrugrrrlll those buggahs are expensive! Long lecture ensues on absentedmindedness on execution day. Teen retorts with a fable about spilt milk. Mother applies conventional wisdom and teen obliges the point. mummumblefreakingkid...
Why am I on the internet when I really want a bubblebath and a glass of white zin?
