LOL... wow, all these opinions and advice!

I guess you have to know my son. We have ALWAYS had fights regarding getting dressed up. Tonight, he's wearing a blue short sleeved dress shirt, black slacks, a purple tie with some cartoon figures of old ladies, brown dock shoes, no belt and no jacket. We just let him go. HE'S the one that has to stand on stage and accept his award, not us. My youngest daughter is also getting an award and she is wearing a lovely black dress and my dress heels. She even put on a pair of nylons for the evening (something she'd rather die than do... and she asked me for the nylons, I never suggested them to her)

However, his prom is different. Its not just him, it is him and his GF of two years. Its HER night too. She has said what she wanted and she is hoping we make it happen.

My oldest daughter is also going to this prom. Her dress is lovely. We normally fight big-time over clothes, but buying this dress was a snap. When it comes to dressing up and going out, she's always been great. Also, since we bought her dress, there's no way in the world we would have bought something we didn't approve of. No way. We would have searched til our feet were blistered if it took that long to find a dress we both liked. (BTW, she buys all her own jeans and school clothes... hence the fights we normally have since we feels she dresses too provatively... another thread all together )

Her prom date was over tonight and he's my son's best friend. HE'S the one that convinced us to call and change the order. He's friends with son's date too and he said she's really counting on him dressing appropriately for once (and counting on him shaving his chin stubble... we'll see about that one )

hmmmm..... did I miss anything? I hope I explained everything completely.
