LOL This happened at my cousin's graduation last week. They gave the obligatory announcement but they were not kidding. A few families (including mine) gave a "Whoo!" hurriedly, but this lady went nuts when her daughter crossed the stage. Then she grabbed her 2 toddlers and took off running with security chasing after her. Yes, I laughed.
Honestly, I don't like sitting in a hot, stuffy auditorium while a million people graduate. I get that the ceremony is long and boring and you want to "maintain the dignity of the ceremony." But if Big Mama's dignity is crossing the stage today, let her holler. Aside from the people who act up just to do so, I do understand that, after how long and hard the students (and often their families) worked to get to that moment, it's too special to be rushed.
