Parents Weekend at Vanderbilt-

It is about mid-morning on Friday and today commences what is known as Parents Weekend at Vanderbilt. I am coming to see that this is not small deal, in fact there is a line forming in front of me here in the student center of parents waiting to check in for something? It reminds alot of parents weekend at OU, but there are a few added bonuses here. I imagine this is what is going on in the minds of all the attendees this weekend...

Parent) I sure hope little Ivan will show me us all of his classes today so we can meet his teachers
Child) I sure hope mom and dad don't want to go to class, I really don't want Dr. Eppstein to make some strange face and wonder if I am in his class

P) Oh honey, this will be great, we can go back to your dorm room and meet some of your friends
C) Dad, sweet Indiana Jones hat

P) Maybe Ivan will introduce us to some of the fine little southern ladies that he has met this year
C) Dad, why are your shorts coming half way up your thighs?
C-alternately) I hope we don't run into all 17 girls that have spent the night so far this year

P) Maybe Ivan will want to go to dinner tonight, you know, just the 3 of us
C) I hope mom and dad won't care that I invited my whole hall to go to Ruth's Chris. Oh wait, dad owns General Motors, he won't care

P) I can't wait to see what Ivan has planned for us these next few days
C) I hope mom and dad don't think I have anything planned for this weekend. if nothing else we can play playstation for 9 hours like every other day of my life

P) Maybe Ivan will show us about all the cultural diversity here at Vanderbilt
C) Cultural Diversity? I think that is the difference between Polo and Gucci, but I'm not sure

And finally.....
P) Surely Ivan is going to show us what he does at night with his friends
C) Mom, why are you dressed like my girlfriend?
P) What, are spaghetti straps not 'in' this year?
C) Yes, but the people on my hall think that you're hot
P) Well, that's okay. at least its not as bad as the hat your dad has on
C) True
