Do we really have to remind kids not to wear pajamas to a dance?
Attention, students.
This is not
a good outfit
for the prom.
I know you thought it would be a good idea, but please do NOT WEAR PAJAMAS to the FORMAL DANCE!!!
Apparently there is enough real danger of eighth-graders doing just that, yes, wearing their p.j.s to the high school f-o-r-m-a-l, that Seminole Middle School felt the need to send an alert in the school newsletter.
And it says, after noting a formal dress code, that "the following is NOT ALLOWED!'': Jeans, sneakers, slippers, PJs, underwear that's showing, low necklines, bare midriffs, strapless dresses.
Am I the only one surprised by this? Don't 13- and 14-year-olds know that an evening gown is not the same as a night gown? Don't they know that Cinderella's "slippers'' were made of glass, not fuzz?
I know fashions do change over time, but come on!
