It's not cool to show up early. Nobody else did.
It's not cool to sit on the front row. Nerd.
It's not cool to wear whatever I decide to wear. Even if it's new (dang it).
It's not cool to talk to the cool kids. Ever.
It's not cool to look at the cool kids. Or else.
It's not cool to be friendly. Scowl or be scowled at.
It's not cool to bring PB&J for lunch. School lunch or starve.
But most of all...
It's not cool to comb or cut your hair.
Forget it. I'd rather be a dork.

The visualizations I get from reading this post make me shudder, good luck sister dear.
Also, heck yes to the pattern swap, although I've also recently become obsessed with the frenchy bag and am thinking I'll have my own copy of that one pretty soon. Oh Amy.
Good post! I had to laugh. These kids who are trying to 'fit the mold'. I can remember telling you kids, 'You don't have to be clone or follow everyone off the cliff just because everyone else is doing it. Be youself!' What they don't realize is 'The coolest one is the one being themself!' :o) Those kids will learn that 'way after' Jr. High! :o)
You are so brave.
Love your blog!

Hi Julie, Thanks for commenting on my blog.
