Ex Out Socks With Sandals Please

We do not allow any hoodies here, principal stated firmly. My sixth graders pointed to me and laughed. Second field trip of the month. Of course I am the one wearing a clover green hoodie. It is St. Patty’s day, for Peter’s sake! Last week during our college field trip Prissy registrar showed us a film How to dress And How not to dress. They actually had an X on Socks with sandals. It was a cold day, And I love my Birkenstocks With a bit of fluff. The sixth graders who notice practically nothing About me at all when I am trying to get their Attention thought this was hilarious also.

Great poem (and so like kids to notice these things...)! But seriously, I have to side with the prissy registrar on this issue- It is a matter of safety, my friend!! Just see what world-wide havoc socks-with-sandals can unleash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7En0z2A38c
