Mom had her own agenda.
Enjoy..

It had been a hard night for me. I had been up until almost three hitting the books to get ready for exams. I was sitting at the breakfast bar just off the kitchen when my mother slid a plate of bacon and eggs in front of me and asked, "So honey, have you got a date for the prom yet?"
"No mom, I'm not going."
"Not going? You have to honey, it is part of the experience."
"I just don't want to go."
"Why not honey, what's wrong?"
Normally I would have said nothing was wrong and just ducked the question, but I guess I was tired from being up most of the night and my mind wasn't clear. "I'm not going because I can't get a date."
We had only been in town for a year. Dad's company had promoted him to be the plant manager at their plant in this city
