When Dallas high school senior, Ben Ross, was in a serious motorcycle accident, he revealed his one wish to his mom from his hospital bed. Ben wanted to go to prom in the Oscar Mayer Wienernobile. He may have been kidding, but mothers tend to take those things kind of seriously when their children survive a near-fatal accident. But that’s not important. What is important is that while he was recovering, his mother launched an online campaign to convince Oscar Mayer to play chauffeur for Ben and his crew on prom night. Sure enough, this past Saturday evening, a hot dog on wheels showed up to whisk Ben, his girlfriend Molly, and a few of their closest friends off to prom in style. A true prom miracle. I wish I had considered such a genius idea for my own prom. [The Daily What]
