YOUNG MEN IN TUXES

Our daughter was a backup dancer in a talent segment of a beauty contest the other night, and her candidate won “Mr. Congeniality.”

That’s right: eight senior guys were vying for the title of “Mr. EHS” at Elkhorn High School. They were being judged for swimwear, talent, formalwear and interview. It was a fund-raiser for scholarships, and the winners got cash prizes and NEW CARS!!! Well, they were Matchbox cars – but they were new.

In the talent section, we saw everything from a ukulele player, to a nightclub-style singer, to a Star Wars-style laser gunfight, to a “Lord of the Dance” presentation that was really good. Our daughter’s friend dressed up like Richard Simmons, complete with outrageous wig and fake chest hair, and he and four pretty girls did an aerobics workout with amazing energy.

During the interviews, the boys all looked so smashing in their tuxedoes. They all answered different questions. Here was my favorite answer:

Q. What was your favorite childhood memory?

A. Is this still my childhood?
