Greetings listeners with good taste and welcome to Selected Shorts Too Hot for Radio.

The podcast for great literature that also happens to be pure sex, drugs and every other

fun thing your grandma freaks out about when imagining your personal life.

I'm your host, Aparnan and Charla, and I'm here to introduce these stories that may be

a bit much for the public radio audience, which yes may include Grand Grim.

Before we begin, let's take a quick stroll down memory lane.

scarring drive?

Let's mosey on back to the time before adulthood, before college, before even the summer

before you go to college.

Yes it's high school, and more specifically your prom.

Ah prom, one of those nights that you remember for the rest of your life.

Here's what I remember about mine.

Nothing, I didn't go.

Or maybe I did, but it was so forgettable I choose to not remember it.

That's my right.

Dancing and social obligations, even Jane Austen would be like, we're still doing this.

What about a puppet show under my duvet cover instead?

And yes I realize that sounds like a euphemism, but in this case I mean literally.

Or hey how about a cooking competition featuring six different kinds of box brownies?

But the first kind where someone says, hey you, make something perfect, or you failed.

Anywho, so my prom, meh who cares?
