Snowball Dance
Mark and I picked up my LITTLE brother, Evan, from the Snowball dance a few Fridays ago. We were on our way into town from Indianapolis and told my parents we would pick him up so that we could hear the latest gossip about the dance, girls, and music. We heard an earful….
Let’s start with the reason I have it engrained in my head that I need to bet he one to pick kids up from the dance. When we were younger, my mom would ALWAYS volunteer to pick us up from the dance. She said this was the ONLY way she could TRULY hear the stories and the latest gossip. If she wasn’t the one to pick us up, when we got home, she would ask, “How was the dance?” Our response would be “fine,” as we headed to our bedrooms. She vowed that she would always make sure she was the one to pick us up from the dance. S0o0o0o0, I chose to pick up Evan to hear the stories.
Evan walked out of the dance with about 13 girls. Sheesh. He is such a mac daddy. Haha* When he got to us, he had a cell phone in one hand and a case of Starburst candy in the other.

I asked him about the Starburst. He said he had money left over at the end of the night. He went to the concession stand, laid down the money, and told the person behind the counter to give him as many Starburst as his money could buy. The guy gave Evan all they had left.
Then I asked Evan about the dance. He said it was pretty cool, but there was something he did that he couldn’t believe. He wore two DIFFERENT shoes to the dance! WoooooW! This is the point where I realized the difference between girls and boys when it comes to dances. Girls buy their dress a while before the dance. They pick out their shoes, makeup and hairstyles before the day of the dance. Then they wake up early on the big day to make all the necessary preparations. … Boys don’t even check their shoes twice.

Evan talked all the way home about the girls he danced with, the songs he requested, and the drama of the night. Mark and I were happy we got to pick him up to hear all the exciting tales. When we got home, I was ready to hear more and more about the night. Evan walked in first. Mom and Dad were sitting on the couch watching the news.
“How was the dance?” Mom asked.
“Fine” said Evan, as he walked to his bedroom.
