Meghan and I fly down to Philly this Friday for Accepted Students Day at Drexel and that dance class audition that could lead to more scholarship money (long shot, but worth it to meet the head of the program).
Howard will be minding the fort with daughter #2, who is attending the all-important Freshman Semi-formal on Friday night. Last weekend, she and I went out to get her a dress and purchased this nice little chocolate brown number with a handkerchief hem. She looks good in dark brown.
Now... Anna has been through six boyfriends since the 8th grade, by my count. She dates them for a week or two and then casually announces that said boy-of-the-week and she have decided they'd much rather continue being good friends.
This, I find intriguing.
So, naturally I'm curious about this semi-formal. Is she going with a date? "NO!!! Moooommmmmmm!..." OK. She's going to a girlfriend's house so several girls can all get dressed up together and their mom will give them all a ride to the semi. Hmm... what girls? Who will be at this house?
"Tara, Kelsea, Megan, Kara, our friend John Grady... umm..."
"John Grady. Who is John Grady?
"Oh, he's a sophomore. He's just a good friend."
"Got a picture of this sophomore on Facebook by any chance?
"Sure, here he is." This guy looks like a slightly rougher version of Saun Cassidy (remember, from TV's The Hardy Boys?) In short, he's pretty cute. Every guy she dates is getting cuter and cuter.
Dates? Did I just say DATES? As in the verb? Well, yes, I did. THAT's because later I find out that she actually does have a date for this Semi, and John Grady is it. So... she has arranged to have him come to this girlfriend's house (because, my sleuthing daughter #1 tells me, all the other girls are bringing dates so Anna decided to ask John Grady to go with her as a friend). At least we THINK it's as a friend.
What irks me about this is that she won't tell ME this. What am I? Chopped liver? I'm not the one with the gossip gene (Seriously, Meghan has that one covered). So I wouldn't have known this. I wouldn't have done what I'm now going to do, which is encourage Anna to have someone take photographs at this girlfriend's house of her with the "group" of people she's going to the Semi with. Girls, boys, and John Grady - boyfriend of the week #7.
Jesus. I never had this many dates when I was in high school.
