Neighborhood nerds, one week before prom with no date prospects the girls mom gets on the phone to the dudes mom to "make a deal" because she's tired of hearing her bitch and moan about how she has no date to the prom. Besides, dudes mom knows this a win-win since he'll be free saturday night cause he meets with his D&D club on Friday nights and she can finally have some one on one private time with the hubby. That's how i read it.
