Daddy-Daughter Dances

When did these things get kicked up in our culture? I don't remember daddy-daughter dances when I was growing up in 1970s rural East Texas. Are they new, or just new to me?

Part of me, if I'm honest, is a little weirded out by them, but I guess it's no different than dancing with your daughter on her wedding day. Part of me thinks it's cute too, though: dads sort of awkward in suits and little girls in frills. (Then another part of me wonders what the girls with no daddy do....)

And maybe, as the mother of a man cub, I'm a just little bit jealous.

Do they have Mommy-Son Flag Football or something?
