"The 'Inappropriate' Outfit That Got My Daughter Into Trouble At School"

This is not about me. It was written for the Ariana Post.

Yesterday I got one of "those" phone calls that parents dread. Admittedly it was rather low on the scale of parental dread. One might reasonably say it was close to the bottom of the dreaded scale, but it was on there.

My daughter had been escorted to the front office by the principal, and was cooling her heels there until a parent could come in and sort stuff out. Her life of crime had begun.

In most junior high schools, all the students are treated like criminals -- but only some rise to the challenge. My daughter graduates from junior high in two weeks, so she is making it in just under the wire.

After spinning the possibilities in my mind, I was not prepared for the actual nature of her offense. She was dressed inappropriately.
