So Alana's going to "Graduation?" WHY?
Don't you live in the "SUNSHINE STATE?" Can't find anything fun to do there? Are you REQUIRED by the Suds to attend this event? Is that part of "the program?"
I know in the REAL WORLD, that once your own kid graduates from HIGH SCHOOOL, Parents just move on, PERHAPS may be a BIT involved in your child's college activities etc...and your child's High School becomes THE CHILD'S "history" and usually something the child REVISTS like MAYBE a 10th, 20th, 25th class reunion---THAT DOES USUALLY INCLUDE MOMMY DEAREST. Why are you and your daughter so engrossed in this girl's high school "experience" at Whitmore?" Seems strange.
