When my time in high school was nearing its end, nobody was more surprised than me to learn that I had been voted prom king.
That's not intended to be a flex and that's a big part of why I was so shocked because I simply didn't take the matter seriously. When the time came to cast our votes, I just wrote in Batman as a candidate and moved on with my evening.
However, it seems that my attitude towards the selection of prom and homecoming royalty varies a great deal from some people if one mother and daughter's alleged actions are of any indication.
