Do you have any special Homecoming experiences to relate?

My foster sister Pauline Shepherd was in the same class as I even though she was a year older and thus Leesa's age. We had a lot of fun together but one time for Homecoming we almost made mom and dad faint. Pauline was in the Homecoming queen contest and for part of that contest they had to make a cake to sell at an auction. Pauline made, what looked like to me, an exceptionally good cake. It was german Chocolate with a special coconut and brown sugar frosting. So during the auction I did what any good brother would do for his sister and that was to try to run up the price on the cake. I succeeded and it was close to $ 100.00 before I quit at the thought that I really didn't want mom to faint. I didn't buy the cake but the person bidding against me did the second I stopped. It was a lot of fun and luckily I didn't win. I think though that it made Pauline's night.
