They were worried sick. She is a high school senior. When she called the next morning and came home, she admitted that she had a few drinks and fell asleep at her friend's house. Dad is livid, she was just accepted to a great college, with a very good scholarship, and wants to punish her by not letting her go on her planned Spring Break trip to Cabo. He thinks if she can't be responsible enough for one night, what's going to happen when she's there for six days. Mom says it's too much; they need to forgive, discuss, and forget.    Nay has a chance to win $1700! All she has to do is answer more pop culture questions than Raven in Can't Beat Raven!
