OK-so Big Kid came home from his first cotillion class and tossed me The National League of Junior Cotillion handbook-and I quickly perused the contents of this persnickety little instruction manual desperately searching for vital details. (Aside: I am feeling a little insecure about what Big Kid is learning in this class because I am absolutely sure I am-at best-living in a den of reckless and barbarous manners). Then I stumbled across their first assignment: to memorize the Eight Responsibilites of Junior Cotillion Guests. I was feeling OK until I got to #5:
#5. Show respect for the decorations. Decorations should be enjoyed and not destroyed. You are developing real social poise when you resist the temptation to "pop" the balloons, jump up for the crepe streamers, pocket the souvenirs, and so forth.
I can promise you this is BRAND NEW information to the crew above. Don't know that they have ever NOT done all those things...So this is gonna be a little more stressful than I first imagined. ....Oh, hell...
