I technically kinda crashed both my junior and senior proms, since I had dropped out of school halfway through junior year. I probably wouldn't have cared about going if I Hadn't dropped out....but at the time, I missed my friends and doing normal teenage stuff (moving away from home and getting married at 17 can cause that I guess). So, dresses were purchased or made, hair was fancified, uncomfortable shoes were acquired. I didn't have a date for junior prom (being married at the time) and my (now) husband took me to my senior prom. Both events were predictably lame, but I'm glad I did go. Gives me a bit of leverage to talk my own kids into going someday when it's their turn...or Out of going, whatever the case may be

Fenner is back? Fenner is back! Fenner is back!
To answer the question... i didnt. I thought it was so weird not wanting to go, but i didnt know how to dance. My sibs went, and i dont know anyone in class who didnt, but now i've seen quite a number here who didnt or chose not to, and see it is quite normal not to go=).

I did but it was an embarrassing experience 😂
My mother gave me 150 pesos (3 dollars) to rent shoes,gown and to do make up 😄
150 could not even rent a pair of shoes ...so I looked anyway...but my money was really not enough... I was so sad...but I understood that that's all my mother can give to me...i never insisted to ask for more.
But the day before my senior prom a neighbour my classmate lend me a white gown... but it was not a really a gown but that was the white dress in my classmate' s primary school graduation dress... eager to attend the prom I took it and spent just half of the money for my gown. I felt like I hit a jackpot I still have half of my money which I calculated already to be just enough to get a very very cheap white shoes and a bonus stockings some more
No make up,wearing my dress and my cheap shoes there I am I felt so small when I saw all my classmates wearing so nice gowns while me wearing a kid's dress I wanted to disappear that day 😂 but still attended the prom eventhough i was so embarrassed Everone will goin to notice me if I will run out from the campus so I stayed 😂
there was another thing ....the prom was held in an open field and it was a bit windy enough to blow my dress and exposed my ran out stockings and the coins I put to prevent my stockings to keep rolling down 😂 well it was a great dance anyway I danced with a tall handsome man 😄not so bad experience at all 😉😄

My grampa, when he would come to visit, would always give my sister and I each a quarter to go down to the corner for an ice cream cone. It was very exciting for us. One time he came and the price had gone to 35 cents. We were afraid to tell grampa we needed more money.
When mom saw us still there a while later, she asked why we weren't running for the corner like our hair was on fire for our ice cream. We told her he had only given us each a quarter.
I remember her saying: Daddy! Don't be so cheap! They need another twenty cents!
