We covered this last night at the dinner table. My daughter is a sophomore. She asked me directly what I would say if she wanted to go to the prom with a 20 year old. I told her "Not a chance." She smiled. It was the answer she expected (and wanted).
My daughter sees no problem with her brothers choice of a prom date. He's always shown very good judgement. I trust him completely. That means I trust that won't do anything remarkably stupid. He won't use drugs or drink and drive. Keeping his hands off his prom date may be setting the bar a little high.
