Picture days for the yearbook were this week, so this is also the week the seniors dress up in strange costumes all week... one day was "nerd day," on which many seniors dressed up as nerds, complete with taped eyeglasses, pocket protectors, etc. They actually did a good job -- many looked much like my high school chess team picture. One day was "twin day," with lots of seniors dressing as twins. Tuesday(I think) was career day, the day they were supposed to dress up as if they were in the career they want to get into. There were lots of doctors, guys in business suits, etc.
About 15 minutes before the end of my 3rd block class, a female senior comes in with a note for one of my students. (Many seniors have "jobs" with the guidance office or various administrators during their free period, if they have one.) I presume she wants to be a police officer. However, the outfit she was wearing was the "police officer" uniform you'd see on the stripper your buddies might get for you at your bachelor party. I swear, I was within a breath of blurting out "You want to be a stripper?!?" So now I'm wondering if (a) she actually wants to be a stripper (do they require a high school diploma for that job these days?), or (b) she's too naive to realize the uniform she was wearing wasn't REALLY a police officer uniform, or (c) she just likes the look, and really plans to be a dental hygenist, like everyone else.

You clearly have never shopped for a Halloween costume for a woman. Your only options are Slutty Cop, Slutty Referee, Slutty (I swear to god) Construction Worker, Slutty Cat, etc. To say nothing of the inherently slutty costumes, e.g., Slutty French Maid.
ReplyDeleteEven if she had wanted to just dress up like a cop, she'd be hard pressed to find an appropriate costume in a regular costume shop.
