Lindsey Vonn takes 16-year-old to his homecoming dance

[Teh One Who Knocks]

By Carina Adly MacKenzie - KDVR-TV Channel 31




World Cup champion and Olympiad skier Lindsey Vonn was visiting the Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy when she walked past 16-year-old Parker McDonald's lunch table. McDonald, who still didn't have a date to the following night's homecoming dance, had an idea.

"I thought, 'I need a date and there's Lindsey Vonn. I'll ask her!'" he tells Vail Daily. "She walked by my lunch table and I whipped out the question."

It turned out to be a good move.

On Friday, Vonn posted on her Facebook: "Yesterday I visited the Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy and while I was eating lunch with all the students a 16 year old boy named Parker asked me if I would be his date for their homecoming dance, which is tonight. When Parker asked me he was cute, nervous and very polite so of course I said YES! :)"

In fact, she may be even more anxious than he is about the big date. "All through school growing up I never got the chance to go to a school dance so I'm excited for tonight!" she says.

Awwww.

"She made my life," McDonald said, after walking into the homecoming dance with Vonn.

The 27-year-old Vonn is training in Vail this weekend with the U.S. Ski Team.

I know she's not a teacher or in a position of power...just having a yuk with the age difference.

That kid is going shoot 3 times in his pants before they even get there And I wonder if he's going to try an awkward move on her as the night closes....

Maybe she's going to give him something to really remember and lift up the skirt and jump on him at one point....who would believe?
