My personal mentality as a mentor is that I don't want to see it. FIRST events/build nights are more or less a professional environment, and kissy face doesn't belong there, much less purple hotel rooms. As long as the student doesn't make it a problem for me, I don't care. But I'd better find a better way of expressing that, because telling my kids "don't let me see it" seems like a bad idea!
