Girls: you’ve probably been planning for this night for weeks, if not months, or even years. You have your date, your dress, your do – your counting the days until your big night.
Guys: you probably haven’t spent quite as much time on all the details, so let me break it down into a few small, but vital, things to remember:
• Find out the color of your date’s dress so you can make sure her corsage doesn’t clash. Don’t know what a corsage is? Google it. Believe me, you don’t want to end up in the doghouse over this one. I’ve been told girls hang on to these forever.
• A tux is not something you can go out and rent an hour before showtime. PLAN AHEAD.
• Hate having your picture taken? Get over it.
• Don’t be late. Let me say it again: DON’T BE LATE.
Everybody: Have fun, but not too much fun. You know what I mean. You may feel like this is your first official night out as an adult, but don’t forget, not only are you not an adult yet, real adults are responsible. Don’t make choices that seem like no big deal, but that turn into consequences that affect the rest of your life. Prom night should be a night to remember, not one you wish you could forget. Comprende?
Better go make those dinner reservations and brush up on my bow tie skills. I may need a little help – it’s kind of difficult when you’re all paws.
Woof,
Clyde
