ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Prom

Prom is a special dance that high school students attend. It usually happens at the end of the school year, and it's kind of like a party where people dress up in fancy clothes and dance to music.

It's a big deal for girls because they usually get to wear beautiful dresses and get their hair and makeup done. Some girls even get a special car called a limo to take them to prom.

Boys usually wear suits or tuxedos and they often get to rent a fancy car too.

During prom, there are snacks and drinks, and sometimes a fancy dinner. People take lots of photos with their friends and dance all night long.

It's a really special event that people remember for a long time.
