As I write this, my wife and I (along with some other parents) are hosting a “morning after prom” party.  There appears to be a stream of kids in and out of back doors, front doors, side doors and garage doors.  There is lots of screaming, shouting, laughing, texting, people forgetting where they put their juice, coffee or plate of food, and food being spilled everywhere.  There are numerous simultaneous conversations occurring about who wore what, who danced with whom, who ate what, and a myriad of other topics.

 

There is no organization to this party, there is no set plan, and it is pure and utter chaos.  And it is great! 

 

Sometimes we need to recognize the fact that chaos can work.  Sometimes kids just need to be kids and sometimes organizations just need to be organizations.  Back to the party.
