My kids just look at me and hope they don't turn out like me, which I think most kids think about their parents.
But a dictionary definition doesn't define neutrality, it defines the brute meaning* of a word.
For example, these two sentences describe the same facts, but one is not neutral.
1) You are clearly triggered and your hectoring description of the rules, whilst correct, is bordering on lecturing.
2) You description of the rules is correct.
And to end (hopefully), my gibberish, I agree, I have memories of the Prom from a trip taken with relatives when I was young that have made the now defunct Ferny Glade almost magical in my mind.
*If a words main or only meaning is non-neutral, then the dictionary will indicate that.
