Last night was Open House at my daughter's high school. My daughter gave me plenty of advanced warning, telling me as soon as she got in the car AFTER school yesterday!!! Apparently her Drama teacher had promised 15 extra credit points to the students whose parents showed up.
***Extraneous side note to those parents with teenage daughters: Isn't teaching Drama to teens redundant???***
My daughter's response when I said I would go was (looking me up and down in my knock-around jeans and purple turtleneck), "You're not going to wear THAT, are you?" So, I have come full circle from being influenced by girls in my high school to being influenced by my daughter in high school.
And then, the icing on the cake, "You're going to wear a bra, aren't you?" As my little act of rebellion, I wore a Victoria's Secret "Pink" bra that she would find utterly horrifying when sported by her 45 year old Mom. (I do hate when they use my picture for their ads!!!)
So I showered, carefully dressed and put on make-up to pass muster so I could leave to follow my daughter's schedule. In typical "me" fashion, I started out by excessively socializing in the hall outside the gym. I bounced into the first period class and grabbed the first seat-desk in the front. In second period I slouched to a desk toward the back. I showed up for third period late. Then I blew off fourth period because the portable classroom was too freakin' far away!
Whatever she is doing in school, the Drama seems to be working...just watch a couple minutes of this:
