Somehow it did not compute that the semi-formal I got an e-mail about was on a Thursday. Which meant someone would have to pick Matt up at 11 PM-ish on a work night. Both Dan and Ben offered to drive him, but each thought the other was just being nice. We looked at Google maps for what else was in the area (parks that closed at sundown mostly, no bookstores. Where are Geeks supposed to wait if there are no bookstores?) Dan said manfully, “I have my Kindle, I’ll just read a book.”
I’m really proud of what happened next – I am the Mombrain who messed up the calendar, but I also suggested that they look for movie theaters and all 3 go. And that’s what they did. Dan and Ben enjoyed dinner out, then Shazam! but said the monsters were too scary for kids, it’s not really a family flick.
So, did Dan teach him tie tying? (My Mom took him shopping. He’ll look nice on Easter too!)
Did all three have fun?
Matt reports that he saw old friends from co-op, found that eating a meal with new acquaintances was a good way to make friends, and did dance.
Once.
