Dear Jack,
Last Friday night, Mommy and I drove you and your best friend Landon to your first school dance! And yes, a dance where there were girls.
However, you were super chill about the whole thing. But it was very important to you that you were able to go.
I kept asking, “Are you sure you are going to feel comfortable wearing a t-shirt? Are you sure you won’t feel underdressed?”
To be sure, I snuck a few button down shirts in the car just in case.
But sure enough, this apparently was a very casual middle school dance where no one really dressed up.
You confirmed that boys and girls in 6th grade weren’t really dancing with each other.
It mainly was just a way to hang out. Either way, you were so glad you went!
Love,
Daddy
