I don't know why I am so fired up about this today. I have to admit I am usually way more laid back when it comes to these things. I need a day off and a glass of wine.

I posted this in the original post:

DH, Tubby's Mom and Dad and I just had a 10 minute conference call. This is the whole story.

As I suspected Tubby's Mom was under the impression that the prom venue was close to the city of Baltimore which the entire world now knows that there have been riots, peaceful protests, and now a curfew at 10 pm for the entire city. Any schools that had proms this weekend in the city have been moved to other locations. This has been sent out in multiple emails through out the week. Their school was not moved.

Tubby, his mom and dad drove to the prom venue this morning (no school today) and she saw that it was not near the city and that Tubby had taken the initiative to memorize the directions there so he wouldn't need the GPS. Tubby's dad spoke up that they had a family meeting regarding the driving to prom situation and it was decided that if Tubby and SD16 leave at 10:30 Tubby's mom feels better about them driving. Tubby's dad said he never questioned Tubby's driving to the prom. Tubby Mom mentioned on the call that she was more worried about the protesters than Tubby's driving. She also THANKED us by saying she appreciated that we understood it was her decision.

She and I spoke about pictures and that she wasn't a wine drinker but she did appreciate a good beer! I never in a million years thought she would be a beer drinker.
