Yeah your mom raised you right and called you out.  Did you guys at least have a good time at prom?

We had a good time. I was a little overwhelmed. The girl I took told me I was a good date. I was angry at my best friend at the time who came between me and the girl who i wanted to go with. I wasn’t angry at the girl I was with but, I did make sure not to transfer the anger I felt at my friend to my date after my Mom reminded me.
