Team Chaperone

I helped chaperone the 16th birthday party of the kids of Andie’s boyfriend Eric.

O.K., let’s be honest: more competent people did all of the work, stamping hands (no re-entry!) and handing out the raffle tickets at the door while monitoring the balconies for illicit activity.

At one point, there was a vigorous makeout session going down on the west balcony, but we let that one slide. We were also on the lookout for substance abusing, dirty dancing, trash talking, F-bombing, close dancing and general hormone raging, although that one’s not really to be helped when you’ve got a bunch of teenagers bouncing around to the danceworthy tunes of yesterday and today.
