This morning Thomas put on very nice clothes and took time to do his hair. He wanted to look his best as he asked Miss O, our neighbor, to this year's Prom. She is only a freshman, and is a delightful young lady. I had warned him that she might not be allowed to date, or might not be allowed to go as he is two years older, but since we know her parents it was certainly worth asking. Sadly, he texted us at the end of the day letting us know that she said she couldn't go with him. I found her wording such that it could reinforce that maybe she wanted to, but wasn't allowed. We don't really know.
I know Thomas had really hoped this would work out. Certainly, there are others he could ask, and he also has the advantage of knowing students at other schools. It sure is hard to see our kids disappointed though!
