"I'm wearing today's dress code for teachers: 'college t-shirt and khaki pants.' Only the one pair of khaki pants I own are these and I look like a boy."
"Yeah....dey too BIG. Dey black people pants. You finna sag."
I had to agree. I looked ridiculous. I also happened to wear my hair wavy, which incited several unsolicited comments on my appearance.
James: "You havin' like tha worst hair day EVER. Like what is yo hair DOIN'?"
"That's impolite, James," I told him.
"I jus' tell the truth all tha time. Better than lyin' to ya an' tellin' you you look good then you walk out'tha house lookin' a mess like you do right now!"
But later, Stephon: "Ms. M, you look pretty today."
"Thanks?" I said, gesturing to my masculine threads.
"Naww I mean your hair."
"She looks pretty EVERY day, Stephon," Brent chimed in. "Why you actin' like today any different?"
Silly boys. Wish they paid as much attention to my lessons as they do my choice of clothing/hairstyles.
