My kids

Apparently, last week was spirit week at my daughter's middle school. I used to love spirit week, particularly P.J. day! On P.J. day, I could sleep in and just roll out of bed and go to school... In any case, things have changed, like they always do.. I realized today, probably for the millionth time, how grateful I am that I am not embarrassed of my kids. As I was driving off I saw these two girls in boy cut undies like the ones Cameron Diaz wore in Charlie's Angel's, over black nylons.. I didn't see what they were wearing for a top other than blankets tied on like capes.. The thought popped into my head that they looked like they were some type of tomboy super hero prostitutes or something... Sad since they are only in middle school! The next thoughts that followed were that the attire they were wearing would probably not be accepted at school. I started wondering about their parents. I would never let my kids out the door looking like that, maybe their parents work and don't see their kids in the morning.. Or maybe they wore long pants or P.J. bottoms until they got to school. I wonder if the latter is the case, if the parents would even be alerted to the fact that their kids were at school in nylons and underwear only, from waist down anyways... I think I would want to know that... as much as I really wouldn't! It kind of amazes me that those girls had no idea how uncool they looked. However, they reaffirmed my thankfulness that my kids are who they are. I feel for their parents, although it could be that their parents aren't much, if any, better. I, for one, would be horrified!

UPDATE!

I asked my daughter if she saw those girls. I didn't really think she would unless they had their 1st class together because surely the teacher would have sent them to the office to call their parent's or at least get some pants on.... But, she didn't have 1st period with either of them and she told me they were allowed to go the whole day that way! WHAT!?! Now, I might add that on picture day, my daughter went to school in a nice summery type dress. It was kind of Hawaiian-ish. It came up and tied around her neck so her shoulders and part of her upper back was bare, but it was not trashy or inappropriate. The teacher AND the photographer made her put her jacket on because her shoulders were exposed! These girls get to go to school in their underwear and nothing is said? I am a tad bit ticked off! I am seriously thinking of contacting the principal over this but I haven't yet decided if I am going to or not... Anyways, just thought you would all like to hear what happened!
