对于俄克拉荷马州塔尔萨市毕晓普凯利高中的入学新生而言，很难想象比这更令人尴尬的开学首日。
所有高年级学生都会围住他们的汽车，不让他们离开，除非完成一件特定的事：给母亲一个送别吻。
“我们拦住车辆，拉住车门，不让它打开，”毕晓普凯利高中的一名高年级学生告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。
“这就像入会仪式，我们当年也这么做了，”另一名学生说道。
对象也可以是父亲或监护人。核心是要当众用脸颊轻吻来向护送自己的亲人致谢。
所有新生都清楚这一环节。事实上，这已经是该校延续了26年的传统。
在此之前，高年级学生也会在开学首日迎接新生，但当时的“欢迎”方式更具捉弄意味，更多是搞恶作剧。直到2001届毕业生决定改用更友善的方式，同时也让新生们稍微有点不自在。
“作为新生，我可不想当着众人亲吻我的妈妈，”该校校长玛丽·哈娜修女说道。
玛丽·哈娜修女表示，她能理解这种不情愿，但她认为“要孝敬父母”这条圣经戒律能位列十大诫命绝非偶然。
“你知道整件事里最开心的人是谁吗？……是妈妈们，”玛丽·哈娜修女说，“对她们来说这意义重大，尤其是如果这是她们的第一个孩子，或是最后一个孩子。”
这是一种成人仪式。正因如此，在毕晓普凯利高中，他们用数百名欢呼雀跃的高年级学生来庆祝这个里程碑时刻——亲子间这份甜蜜又稍纵即逝的瞬间。
“送完孩子开车离开的那一刻，你才会真切感受到，”一位家长说道。
另一位家长补充道：“他给了我那个吻，我看着他走进校园，这意味着我必须放手了。”

For incoming freshmen at Bishop Kelley High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, it’s hard to imagine a more mortifying first day.
All the seniors surround their cars and don’t let them out until they do one specific thing: give their mothers a goodbye kiss.
“We hold the car, we hold the car door, preventing it from opening,” one senior Bishop Kelly student told CBS News.
“It’s like initiation, like, we all did it,” said another.
It can also be a father or a guardian. The point is that someone needs to be publicly thanked with a peck on the cheek.
All the freshmen know this is coming. In fact, it is now a 26-year school tradition.
Before this, seniors still greeted the freshmen on day one. But back then the “welcome” was a little more biting. It was based more on pranks. That is, until the class of 2001 decided to be kinder while also making the newbies feel just a little bit uncomfortable.
“I wouldn’t have wanted to kiss my mom as a freshman,” said Sister Mary Hanah, the school’s president.
Sister Mary Hanah said she can relate to the reluctance, but she thinks that Biblical rule, to honor thy mother and father, made the top 10 list for a reason.
“And you know who the happiest people are in this whole thing? … The mothers,” Sister Mary Hanah said. “This is a big moment for them, especially if this is their first child or their last child.”
It is a rite of passage. Which is why at Bishop Kelley, they celebrate the milestone — that sweet, fleeting moment between a parent and child — with a couple hundred screaming seniors.
“The moment you drive off after dropping them to school is when it hits you,” said one parent.
Added another: “He gave me that kiss and I saw him leave and that meant I have to let go.”
