A night to remember

A high school senior at Spanish Form High took his 7 year-old sister to prom:
For the Amundson family of Birdseye, the rule on dating is engraved in stone. Simply, the Amundson children are not permitted to date until they turn 16 years old. Saturday night, however, Bryan and Jana Amundson made an exception to the rule for their only daughter, Paige.

Only a first-grader at Spanish Oaks Elementary, Paige was asked to the Spanish Fork High School prom. Her date was high-school senior Brady Amundson -- her oldest brother.

Seven years ago, when Paige was born, Brady told his parents he wanted to take his only sister to his high-school prom. His parents thought the idea was cute but never took him seriously.

. . .

On Saturday, Brady and Paige went to dinner, made a teddy bear at the Build-a-Bear workshop and then attended the dance at Thanksgiving Point. And, like the consummate gentleman, he even had his young date home in time for curfew.

Read the whole story in the Daily Herald. (Unfortunately the online edition doesn't have the two photos). A feel-good story.
