Student Takes Mom to Prom Michael Lopardi, Assignment Editor She was nervous about going. She even joked about a last minute offer to back out. And with just about everyone at Williamsville East talking about senior Jeff Langenfield's prom date, she had reason to be a little jittery. His mom was his date. Dawn Langenfield never had the opportunity to go her high school prom. She said it took a moment to realize that her son was serious about his offer. "I was reluctant to go," Dawn Langenfield said. Mom and son walked arm and arm into Williamsville East High School's senior prom Saturday night. "I really thought about it and I thought it would be a lot of fun," Jeff said. With Jeff leaving for the Air Force in August, he said he couldn't think of anyone else he would want to take with him. The couple posed for pictures and dined along side Jeff's classmates at the Park Country Club. "Just to have this experience with my son and having my daughters and my other son watch, this memory will last forever," Dawn Langenfield said, choking back tears. Jeff said his mom means the world to him. "I know this means a lot to my mom and I'm glad it does because I feel like she's always given so much to me, I can give her something back," he said. WGRZ-TV 2 On Your Side photojournalist John Guinane accompanied the Langenfields throughout the big night to capture this story.

Did he hit it? Ok, I had to pound that out...oh wait... On a serious note, I think that's pretty cool...
Now his (soon to be ex) girlfriend's future son will have to take his mom to the prom cause her boyfriend in high school took his mom
Aside from the obvious jokes I have a question. Why would his mom want to go? I know there are prom themed parties that people, and clubs throw sometimes that have people a little closer to her age. It seems like she might have a better time taking one of those seriously and going to that in full prom style. As an adult I can't imagine having fun at a high school prom. I barely had fun at my own prom.
