Being an American Mom

Yes, I've finally gone native. I'm in the middle of ordering a wrist corsage for my son's prom date. It would help if I knew what she was wearing so I think I'll go with white; at least that will match his jacket.

But no, he's not wearing white tie like one might infer. He's going more for this look, only with a thin white tie.

I am in the middle of trying to convince him that at least a new pair of Converse shoes might be nice,

but he says it's taken him a whole year to get the present ones into a suitably distressed (ie. holey) condition. Sigh...
Rock 'n roll!
