Did you get a Sweet 16?

@bijouxbroussard I don't really understand the idea of a debutant.

@AlienTheExtraterrestrial It’s old-fashioned, families presenting their daughters to "society". As the eldest daughter, I was expected to participate.

@bijouxbroussard That's wild. What did you think of it at the time?

@AlienTheExtraterrestrial I thought it was rather tiresome.

But one of my cousins and a classmate were "presented" with me, and I liked my escort, so we made the best of it.
