The comedy "Parents Just Don't Understand" will be presented by the Bluffton High School Drama Club Friday and Saturday, Nov. 22-23, in the middle school cafetorium. 

The drama is best described this way:

"This show is a collection of hilarious (and often too close to the truth) scenes that all families are going to be able to relate to. It’s a light-hearted look at a “greatest hit list” of classic family moments.
