no more school spirit for me
i think this was third grade. it was one of those school spirit days and it was "dress up as someone famous" or something like that. i got all excited and was like hey that's pretty cool, i can dress up as someone that's not me for a day. i spent a while trying to decide who to pick, and mom's like "how about you dress up as mary poppins? that would be original, and then you can wear a nice dress and stuff, and we'll put your hair up like hers" and i was like "that's dumb, i don't know" and she's like "no, it will be pretty and its creative." so i'm like ok. so i go into school wearing this blue and purple old fashioned kinda dress with my hair in a bun and my mom even put make-up on me (i had the "rosy cheeks") and i go into my elementary school all happy.... and no one is wearing anything out of the ordinary. i think one girl dressed up as madonna. i started to feel really weird and i saw everyone looking at me, and i'm like oh god and then people are like "what are you wearing" and i'm like "well, i'm mary poppins" and they would just laugh at me and the whole day i was utterly embarrased and told myself never to listen to my mom again about that stuff and to never ever dress up for school spirit days. argh!! well, i guess everyone has those awful days but that one stuck with me.
