This week is school spirit week. Each day has a theme and the children are encouraged to break out of the uniform drudgery and wear something according to the theme. The class with the most participation gets . . . uh . . . something next week.
Today is "dress like a character in a book" day. Madison decided to dress as Violet from The Box Car Children. She came upstairs wearing tan uniform pants with her brown school belt, her navy uniform cardigan, and . . . are you ready, because here is where it get a little crazy . . . . a light blue shirt. You SO can not wear light blue to Freedom Academy on regular days. And, get this, she didn't even tuck it in!
I was expecting her to come upstairs wearing tattered jeans and an old t-shirt. I was under the wacky impression that Violet the box car child lived in a box car. Wrong.Apparently at the end of the first book the box car children move from their box car to their grandfathers house. The grandfather is rich, so now the children dress like yuppies. This means swapping the collared navy blue uniform shirt for a light blue henley. The rest pretty much stays the same.
At Michael's suggestion we added the "Hello My Name Is: Violet (a box car child)" tag to her shirt. The perfect little cherry on top of the perfect little outfit.

Wow, sign her up for reform school now because with that wild attitude you know it is only a matter of years before you will have to send her.
