Here in Texas, it\u2018s a tradition for guys to ask girls to homecoming with big gestures, normally including a poster that askes the girl to be their date to homecoming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other schools, homecoming is a huge, formal dance with dressing up and everything that comes with it. But at Wylie High, homecoming is more like a fun night at school with food, drinks and movies. Girls don\u2018t wear dresses and before going to the actual event, couples watch the football game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So last week, guys began to ask girls out with their posters etc. Since I have a bf, I obviously expected him to ask me sooner or later, but I was really unsure, because Ximena had told me that he was gonna ask me at the home game but he cancelled that plan. I was quite disappointed that he apparently didn\u2018t wanna do it at the game anymore, but at the same time I was glad because quite a lot of these homecoming proposals are cringy and embarrassing. But I was still a little bit upset and waiting for him to ask me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So yesterday he finally asked me!!!!!!! When I came home from school and opened the door to my bedroom, I was shocked for a moment, because Jacob was standing in my room, which I hadn\u2018t expected. He was holding a huge poster that said: \u00a8Roses are red, your eyes are stunning, will you be my date to homecoming\u00a8. In his hands were roses and a bag of chocolates and on my table I found a frosted limonade, which is my favorite drink here. Of course my host mom recorded the whole thing on video tape and threatened to send it to my parents \ud83d\ude02. So I said I would do it if I could only send the photo we took and thank god she agreed &#8230;.haha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/usarahshighschoolyear.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ABFEADAE-A797-4858-9496-EE16A366AFC0-1024x740.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usarahshighschoolyear.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ABFEADAE-A797-4858-9496-EE16A366AFC0-1024x740.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/usarahshighschoolyear.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ABFEADAE-A797-4858-9496-EE16A366AFC0-300x217.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/usarahshighschoolyear.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ABFEADAE-A797-4858-9496-EE16A366AFC0-768x555.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/usarahshighschoolyear.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ABFEADAE-A797-4858-9496-EE16A366AFC0.jpeg 1075w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I find it very cute how he asked me to homecoming and I was clearly happy about it. But Now I have something else to worry about&#8230;&#8230; the mum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2018s a tradition in Texas &#8211; and only in Texas &#8211; that girls wear a mum to school the day of homecoming, while guys wear garders. I can\u2018t explain what a mum is, but there are many pictures on the internet of it. So the guy makes a mum for the girl and the girl makes a garder for the guy, they exchange it before school starts and wear it the whole day until the dance. I wouldn\u2018t have a problem with it if the mums weren\u2018t that ugly. I\u2018ve mostly seen pictures of horrendous mums and very rarely I\u2018ve also seen a nice one. The problem is, that most of them are WAY too BIG. So I told Jacob that I want a small and mostest mum. I really hope he listens to me. If you don\u2018t know what dimension I\u2018m talking about, google \u00a8mum homecoming\u00a8, and you\u2018ll see a lot of pictures of girls wearing mums that are 10x too big for them&#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My school\u2018s homecoming takes place on the 25th of October, together with a football game.
