Prom and the Pink Bra...

March 25, 2011 Junior Prom "In Your Arms"

Ben asked a cute girl named Joy Westwood to prom. He asked her the cutest way... He bought a bouquet of Helium Balloons and tied them to kite string. Every 6 feet or so he attached a word to the string "Sorry to string you along, will you go to prom with me?", Ben Paxman. He then put the end of the kite string on her porch and wound it around her yard sorta like a small web. Then out to the mailbox where the string then went into the sky with the balloons floating up quite high. She had to follow the string and then pull in the balloons reading the words as she went. She of course said yes and we have these pictures to prove it.

Ben all studly in his tux. Joy pinning on his flower Ben putting on her flower The cute couple. They are really good friends.


They had a really good time. They went with 10 other couples.

After the dance they had plans to go to one of the boy's house for desert and a movie.

Ben got sick. :/ (this has been happening a lot lately)

His date was so nice about it.

He came home and took a pill and his date continued to the after party with his friends.

About 30 minutes later he was able to join them.

and take his date home. :)

Junior Prom was a success.


The next morning

When I went out the van I found this....

A pink bra. Laying right there in the back seat. Now you might be wondering WHY.. How could there be a bra in the backseat The girls had brought clothes to change into and then changed their minds and stayed in their dresses. One of the girls must have dropped the bra. No funny business was involved.
I told all the boys they would have to ask their dates find out who the owner of the pink bra was so it could be returned. It was a Victoria Secret bra They are EXPENSIVE. You would have thought they had all been sh0t. The reaction was ridiculous!! "What, We can't ask about a bra?" Some of the boys who did not ride in our van were so so glad... and mocked those who did and would have to ask this horrible question. A lot of debate was had between the three boys how they would word it, etc.
This is how it finally went down. (by text) boy: "So did you by chance leave an article of clothing in the van?" girl: "What is it?" boy: "ahhh It's pink" girl: "ha ha ha ha" She then would try and coax what it is out of him. He would never say exactly what. Until she declined leaving anything. Each boy had this same conversation, humiliating so they tell me. ;) Until finally, one girl did claim the pink bra. It was returned in a brown lunch sack. I had to place the bra in the sack and staple it shut before the boys would handle it at all. ninnies
And there you have it

OMGosh! I laughed my head off! Seriously! What you don't know is that it is a credit to all those boys that they were mortified and couldn't even say the word or carry the bra. I'm going to be laughing all day over this. Brown bag bra special. hahahaha.
