Oh well, do what everyone else does. Hang with your friends, listen to music you don’t like, drink punch you don’t like and watch someone else dance with the girl you do like. These are the ‘good old days’. Right?
And this is about the stage where mothers realize that they’re about to get their comeuppance for all those times that they said boys are so much easier to raise than girls. It’s quite unexpected and sudden.
Lynn’s Comments: My mother would drive my friends and me to school dances. We’d cringe in the back seat, hoping we wouldn’t be seen. With great understanding, my mom would drop us off a block away from the school so we could walk, unaccompanied, by a “rent.” Whatever rifts came between us, she could also be totally cool.
Oh I remember going out on my first date to the Jr/Sr Prom and having my brother and his friend follow us. Then my parents followed us home. Needless to say that was the first and last time that I had a date with him. Talk about embarrassing. I didn’t date much in high school. You can guess the reason.
So they get in the “stoopid dance”, then meet some very nice young ladies and then claim that they are geniuses for coming to the dance in the first place.
So school dances were a requirement in Canada??? Did they get graded for gym? Like what Samantha said in “Sixteen Candels”? Weird! My lame butt never went to any. Middle or High school.

Would Mike and Gordon still be embarrassing having Dr. John Patterson (or one of Gordon’s parents) drive them to the dance?

The parents should have made them walk there, especially with THAT attitude. They’re not little kids anymore.

They’re actually going to have a great time, but will never never admit it.
