8th Grade Dance

How To Take Your Daughter Shopping For An Outfit For Her 8th Grade Dance

1) Suggest a store; learn it’s gross.

2) Suggest a different store; learn it’s not good for dances.

3) Drive to store of her choice.

4) Walk inside while being instructed not to make jokes.

5) Suggest a shirt; learn it’s a dress.

6) Suggest a different shirt; learn it’s a sweater.

7) Stand around listlessly while she’s in the dressing room, trying to be inconspicuous while also trying not to
look like you’re too at ease in women’s clothing stores.

8) See the two shirts she has chosen; learn the sticker price of the two shirts she has chosen.

9) Confirm with sales lady that the shirts are just made of cotton and not stitched with platinum thread, or crafted of dwarven mithril, or woven from strands of Princess Diana’s hair.

10) Pay; drive home; require her to make popcorn and watch 80s movie with you.
