Tell Nick that because there are 1000 kids in his class, the chances of him actually seeing you are slim to none. It's crowded and you can always ask to monitor the girls bathroom door where he would have no chance of running into you (horrors!) Those hard working chaperone chairs truly appreciate your help! Once he realizes that you're not going to follow him around, ask him to dance, etc., he'll back off. Plus, this can be pretty entertaining people watching for you. You will have enough material to load up your blog for a few weeks to come!Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426686110229877216.post-39999442276092098502009-05-08T09:20:00.000-05:002009-05-08T09:20:00.000-05:00My husband got the EXACT same treatment from his f...My husband got the EXACT same treatment from his freshman son after volunteering to help with a fundraiser at the school!

Just think--this will be one of the few times you can outright ignore your teen in public. Be cool, mom!Meghttp://www.theapporchard.com/meg/noreply@blogger.com
