Prom
Who can claim that at age 40, they are still going to 2 proms a year? (Who would want to?) I am still attending 2 proms a year out of requirement. However, despite my grumblings about how late they get out and being somewhere for six hours when I would prefer to be doing something else, underneath it all, I really don't mind. Kids know how to have fun! They know how to drop their guards (even as teenagers moving into adulthood) and just throw themselves into a song.
It's funny how adults are constantly commenting on the way they dance, the clothes they wear, they style of hair......remember back to when you were that age.....has it really changed all that much? Yes and No. Styles change, but the concept of "that generation" being different, has not changed so much. Did the teens of the 60's or 50's have the adults approval for hairstyle, dress and type of dance. I'll bet the twist by Chubby Checker or disco dance and John Travolta had some adults talking about what "kids were doing", and yet these are famous and accepted dances today.
Think about it....have things really changed all that much or do we just like to hold onto what is familiar to us in order to feel safe in our own world?
