________________________________________________________________________________________________
The day I had been waiting for all of my life had finally arrived! I had been asked to the senior prom by a guy that I had a crush on all throughout school.
I was a little shy and a late bloomer, which posed a problem. I was renting my prom dress, which meant that I couldn’t alter the dress to “fit” me. So after a lot of fretting and asking my friends for advice, I decided to stuff my top with rolled up tube socks. My dress fit nicely with the added touch and my date showed up looking as handsome as ever!
Everything was going perfectly until my date and I were walking off the dance floor and I felt a little tap on my shoulder. A classmate announced that I had “dropped something”—and handed me a rolled up tube sock!
A million thoughts went through my mind as I prayed for the floor to open up and swallow me whole. I managed a whispered “thank you” and immediately excused myself to go and freshen up. I tossed the pair of socks in the trash and returned to my date as if nothing happened. And my date, gentleman that he was, pretended not to notice that there was “something different” about me. And we still managed to have a good time.
But I still find myself blushing when I think of it twenty years after the fact!
