My youngest son was completely stressed about going to the formal dance last night. On the drive there, I once again
assured him he would know many of the girls there, he looked very handsome in his new suit, he had plenty of things to make small talk about (and I gave him a list), everyone would probably feel a little awkward because it'd been so long since anyone had been to a dance, etc., etc., etc.

When we arrived, I reminded him of the humiliation a girl feels standing on the wall during a slow song, and told him if I found out he hadn't asked a different girl to dance every slow song, he was in big trouble. Then I booted him out of the car and ordered him in with his siblings.

When I picked them up, he was smiling. He reported that he'd asked girls to dance to the slow songs, and that the whole dance had been pretty good. His siblings said that was an understatement, and from the moment he'd walked in, he'd had a wonderful time. He said that wasn't quite right. He said he'd walked in and felt really awkward. But then he saw the drinks on the table, chugged down an entire Sprite, and immediately felt at ease and ready to mingle.

It felt really odd to hear my son say he needed a drink to loosen him up so he could enjoy the party. 🤔
