I can remember when I was about 14 my older brother was talking about going to the prom.  I had no idea what prom was all about.  His friends acted like they were excited too.  I remember the night right before the prom and I heard my parents talking in the kitchen.  They were saying something like, “we will have do things differently when the rest of kids go to prom or if our oldest might happen to go to the prom again.”  They continued to talk saying, “this was over the top as far as cost and what the kids expect the parents to help them take care of for this event.”  I knew at that moment my prom experience was not going to be like my brother’s prom experience.  I hoped that it wasn’t going to be a bad thing.  My mother came home next day with prom favors, some were personalized prom favors and some were cheap prom favors.  Besides getting ready for prom, my mother was helping her brother with his daughter’s wedding so she bought some wedding favors and a wedding garter.  She was tired after shopping all day and told me she was going upstairs to take a nap.  I looked through some of the bags she brought home.  The personalized prom favors had my brother’s best friends name on them.  They looked really cool.  I hope I get have them for my best friends when I go to prom.
