When I was in high school, I don't recall asking someone to prom as being a big deal. You either were asked or not. Nowadays, it seems a big to-do is made just in the asking. How did this happen? Is it across the country or just in our area? Maybe too many t.v. shows of spoiled rich kids being broadcast. I don't know.
Hilary is dating David, so there was never really a question of who she would with to the prom. A couple of weeks ago, after she'd left for school, I received a text message.
*I got asked.* It's hard to tell if she is excited or mad. I respond:
"Cool!" Anything special?"
*yes* I wait to see to hear more. Nothing. Ok, it could be because she is in class, but I am not patient.
"Well? Is that it?"
*He was waiting in my parking space when I got there. He had a fish tank*
"A what?" I understand text messages are short, but like I said, I want details now.
*1 big fish, 3 small fish* ....waiting....
*Oh, and a piece of paper*
"Real live fish?" In my mind, I imagine she meant a fish bowl, not a fish tank. I'm hoping for plastic fish.
Here is the actual message:
Very cute. She then messages me back.
*Real fish. What should I do with them?*
Oh boy. I'm already feeling sorry for these poor fish. I text her back.
"Where are the fish now?"
*Mr. P's classroom.* The basketball coach. And like any good mother, who jumps in to take care of everything, I respond:
"Ask David. It was his idea." LOL, yes, I did tell her that. Sort of how I responded when I got a message yesterday asking,
*Did we order a boutonniere?*
I laughed wondering what "we" she is talking about.
But when she said David was holding a fish tank, she really did mean a tank not a bowl.

Oh wow! That is creative! Our school back in Iowa didn't do creative stuff like that. Maybe they do now, I'm not sure. Can't wait to take a look at the pictures!
Oh that is too precious. Good job David! Super creative.
