prom night again

  Youngest is getting prepared for another high school prom,  2cnd year in a row, taking the same gal,  driving his cousins 2010 Camaro.  WoW   he is growing out of the house fast.
  This will be his 2cnd prom though he is only a junior.  The gal he is escorting has been a childhood friend for a long time.  She is a senior this year.  My son, well I asked why he didn't invite another girl, and simply put, he feels he owes this year to her, as she took him last year.  They make a cute couple,  she has a older bf who feels the prom is beneath him,she also has a child from a previous bf,  my son is the babies Godfather,  so to speak.
   I wish he was taking a potential gf,  but then again sometimes I think his mother and my issues have made him a bit gun-shy of having a gf.   Believe me,  I certainly do not want him getting all tied up in a girl, falling head over heels,and then something going wrong.  Not that I don't want to see him pie-eyed in love, everyone should experience it.  But I do want him to gain a little more security for his future b4 he looks for Mrs. Right.
  Its really changed,  PROM  used to be at the school gym,  tuxes and pretty dresses and a live band.  Now its a lil old building,  the biggest part of the night is arrival, and who has the nicest ride.  Music is downloaded,  no band,  no after prom activities scheduled.   Life in a small town. 
  Have fun, son,  be careful, be safe, be smart.
