10/1/22 Homecoming Dance?

     Well, Mijo went, that was great.  It was still a weird night, starting after school, we picked him up at 5:00pm, and he had two friends with him.  He sold me the "We won last, we should go celebrate at Red Robin."  Who am I to say no?  This was the weekend my mom finally came for a visit, so she went along with us, good thing, or she would have missed hanging with Mijo and his buds for a while.  Mom and I had eaten with Boy, who also had been missing for a good while, earlier in the day, so we weren't really hungry.  I just kept thinking the boys were not going to have time to groom and get ready for the dance if we sat and enjoyed this meal too long.

    As soon as we got done eating, we headed home.  His boys were also going to the dance, but since they did not have dates, they were just going in their school clothes, one was in shorts, the other in warm-ups and probably a hoodie.  These are jock boys who always have a little sweat they're working on.  I basically threatened Mijo that I wouldn't take him if he didn't shower and dress up, although he was going to, he did have a girl to court.  He showed up with his boys, I can only guess the girl showed up with her mom, she was chaperoning the dance.  Either way, they met up there, and there was at least one pic of them dancing, which we got a copy of.  His boys, however, did not get so lucky.  Wife had just got into town from work, so she had not eaten.  We dropped them off, and since she was the hungry one, she chose to go to Taco Bell.  We started ordering from a computer screen, and then Mijo called that his boys could not get into the dance.  Turns out they had been absent or tardy to a class during the week, so they were banned from entering.  That kind of sucked, but I don't think they cared that much to go in.  Mijo asked if we could go get them, we did, then we went back to Taco Bell, with both of the extra kids and had dinner, boys can eat and be hungry again two hours later, as if that surprises anyone.

    We then went home, waited for Mijo, went to pick him up, he had his date with him, plus an extra friend, and we headed to Whataburger, but the line was super long.  While they were in line, they talked about other fast-food places they like, and Sonic came up.  We suggested Sonic would be faster, and they agreed.  We went over, got some assorted foods and headed home.  The girl's mom came and picked her up about 30-40 minutes later, just enough time for them to eat and go thru a few photo albums.  We went out and chatted with the mom so she would know that the kids weren't doing anything they weren't supposed to, we were still up with them.
