'Gram of the Week (4/25/11 - 5/1/11)


Will. You. Go. To. Prom. With. Me.

There is a song my daughter downloaded recently from iTunes. It's called "Will You Go To Prom With Me?" by the group Hellogoodbye..it's sung in a kind of a death-metal, neanderthal-style, where the singer is barking out his request. It's even kind of catchy after awhile....anyway....


Ryan wanted to ask his girlfriend, Sammy, to the Jericho High School Senior Prom. They've been "dating" since Middle School and you'd think it would be a lock. But "Shmu Bear" was mortified when a tuxedo-clad Marty showed up to ask her to the prom on Ryan's behalf. It was at her home and she was surrounded by family, yet you would have thought this was the most egregious thing anyone could have done to her......she refused to come downstairs (apparently, she had just washed her hair).


What's the big beef about? WE'RE the ones singing, for crying out loud.....maybe it was the acknowledgment of how she's addicted to her Blackberry, the fact that she can fall asleep on command, or that she gets her nails done at Venus every Friday afternoon!


I mean, she'll be attending University of Florida/Gainsville in the fall...isn't that among the top ten Party Schools in the nation? You'd think she'd want to get some practice in before it becomes official!
