There’s nothing wrong with wearing of the green!

Picky, picky, picky! So, back it goes. And just why did you not tell her which color you wanted, when you asked for the shirt!?

I’d say that’s Gabby’s fault for not providing enough information.

Come on folks, be fair. If it’s not the right color it isn’t the right sweater.

Our school colors when I moved to Indiana were green and white. Green is one of my favorite colors, so I was cool with that part. I was medically excused from gym, but I still had to dress out and then take a shower in the community one. My period had started earlier than most of the girls and I was already 5’6". So not only was I mortified people would see me naked my mom in her “wisdom” didn’t buy one of the gym outfits that had a nice cool top and shorts. They sold them in the bookstore. My junior high even had a swimming pool!! Mom bought sweat pants and a sweat shirt from K-Mart. I wound up getting sick for the last part of August and most of September and then again during “Indian summer”. Seriously I don’t know what she was thinking. I would get sick on hot days in El Paso. Yes, the numbers were lower in Indiana, but NOT when heat indexes were included.

Too bad corporal punishment isn’t allowed in the home anymore, this would be a good time for it.

Green and orange trim, how ugly…
