I was barely BORN when bell bottom jeans were the rage and I am with you 100% on all of that. Could not agree more on why would anyone *want* their parents there! We finally escaped the nest and were ready to be seen as independent and grown up. We would have been mortified had mom showed up at all. My parents didn't even help me move in. I just packed the car and headed off to school.
Though not Alabama it was state of Texas. And Lord knows we Texans invented crazy. Yet, that would have been BEYOND crazy even for us.
