Pink Converse High-Tops and Black Lipstick

Just when you think you have seen it all...you see a boy wearing pink converse high-top sneakers into the gym...and if that wasn't enough just behind him was the boy wearing black lipstick! Gym duty has to be the most interesting duty at the school...you see it all...right at the beginning of the day. I have noticed that most of the freshmen are pretty reserved...but the upperclassmen are another story! What could possibly make a boy think that wearing black lipstick makes him look good? Of course...he isn't striving to look good...he is striving to be different...to be noticed...if you ask me it is just plain weird.

It makes me laugh to think that mom doesn't like Bob's really long beard. I mean...in comparison it is nothing to black lipstick...or thick leather neckbands with huge spikes sticking out.

Fortunately, most of my kids dress pretty normal...because I just don't know if I could keep a straight face if a boy came walking in with black lipstick on. My biggest worries are that the boys' pants will fall down or that the girls' boobs will pop out of their shirts. I asked one boy how his shoes stayed on his feet today...it doesn't tie the laces and they are laced really loose...he explained it all to me...it still doesn't make sense...but as long as they stay on. I told him that maybe they just looked loose because the legs on his jeans were so big...he thought that was pretty funny. I think he looks silly.

I wonder how normal people make it through their days without having teenagers to chuckle at? Personally, I am glad for all of the comic relief that I can get!
