Unchosen

Sb came home from school today with a new twist to the homecoming dance she is going to. Ben told her that when he informed his parents that he had asked her to the dance, they told him they didn't want him going. What? How can they say that after he already HAS asked?

I told her that was ok, that she could go back to her original plan and go with her girlfriends. She said he went ahead and bought her ticket and gave it to her. So what does this mean? Did he feel guilty, so bought her the ticket so she could still go, or is he going behind his parents back and going anyway? Of course Sb didn't have any answers.

Honestly, I felt like he should honor his parents request, and Sb could live with that too. It would not be the end of the world for her. Sigh. That was short-lived enthusiasm.
