At my hs graduation, all the kids worked at McDonald's etc. and stole the happy meal beach balls, where they blew them up and started bouncing them around.
You should have seen my Soror Mom
she had NEVER seen that happen in her life!!! The someone blew up a "blow up doll" and my Soror Mom almost fainted...
My college graduation as VERY different from that...
My master's I just asked for my degree in the mail...
My doctorate, my folks were like wow at the text messaging and cell phone usage...
