I remember my hs graduation. I asked my family to PLEASE act like they really believed that I was going to graduate in the first place. Sometimes there are those children who graduate "thank you lawdy" and you can understand their holy ghost dancing.
Anyway, they were excited since I was in the Top 10. I can see how parents would be bursting with pride, but when I looked in the stands and saw the signs and my mom wiping the tears from her eyes, I kind of understood their joy and pride.
But there is a time and place for everything. I can't say that when my babies graduate and leave home, I'll be the tamest person in the place. However a rule is a rule and they did sign a contract to behave.
