Seriously, why does this bug me?

January 22, 2009 in clothes,damn kids,help,match,Uncategorized,Work

I just, literally just went into another teacher's classroom (at his request), so he could show me how to set something up for his sub tomorrow.

While in there, I hear a student say "Wow, that is so tacky. Who thinks red and purple match?"

I think it matches, and it's more of a burgundy/maroon for the record, so you tell me what you think. Do I match? If I don't, should I care ?

Yes, I took it with my camera phone, I need to know, people. Like right now!!!
Emily, don't hate me if I don't match. I really like the sweater and I think it looks great...I just needed a little more length in the torso...well, you know, because of the nursing and all! And, sadly, I don't have a crew neck shirt in black or white...sue me!

I just had someone comment on the length my son’s hair. So I feel your pain right now.

You look great and Chase’s hair needs a little trim so there.

Now, go about your day proudly! Don’t you wish you could say something back about their appearance???

Purple and red totally go together.

Have you seen kids lately? fashion is not exactly something they know much about ;-)

They totally match! I’ve worn those colors together before.

BTW, I really like your new blog design. I’m so sorry I haven’t been around the past couple of weeks to comment on it sooner. I think it looks awesome!

I think it matches just fine. And bravo for not making a comment back. Thats one of the reason I couldnt work around kids, I have a tendency to be a smart aleck right back (like at least your mom didnt dress you, oh wait, I guess his mom didnt help him this morning either).

I think it matches, but agree a necklace would have made it look like an outfit…I say ignore teenagers

You look fab! Do you have to wear a t-shirt under it? I think you have the same sweater I got in grey…I wore a white tank underneath that has a little lace at the top so the lace peeks out. I think it’s cute and I would have worn it! I will take a pic of my co-teacher one day and send it to you…it’s tacky to the max! Did I get you the sweater?

I think it goes together just fine, altough I’ve never been accused of being fashionable. Sorry, maybe not such a comforting thought. But remember those things you learn in kindergarten – the really important ones… when someone puts you down it’s because they feel lower themselves (even if it is a young child whose partents should teach them more manner and respect for adults).

Too funny! No, they don’t match. And no, I don’t care what other people say either!

Are you allowed to hit them with a ruler or something? LOL Can you give them a F? O they were not your class…bummer! What is wrong with this generation of brats.

Ok you totally match, and I for one am applaud that a kid would say something like that to an adult. maybe I am old school but if I even hear my kids getting a tone or tude with me I nip it in the bud and if someone else informs me they were lipping off I get on them too!

One – are you allowed to smack the kid?

Two – am I allowed to smack the kid for you?

As for matching, I think they are both pretty colors but most likely I wouldn’t wear them together. But then again, I don’t wear anything other than black – so many don’t ask me ;)
