I got a new plaid shirt for kindergarten. I’d never seen so many colors and stripes, and I assumed no one else had, either.
From story time to nap time to play time, I worked the room, making sure everyone knew that even if they were my approximate height, they were still beneath me. “Know what this is? It’s plaid,” I kept saying with a nonexistent pause, all the while pointing at my chest.
Once certain everyone was well aware of how better I was than them, I took a well-deserved break, picking my nose and wiping the boogers on my shoulder. Suddenly, Mrs. Jolly rushed over, pointed her finger at the insidious social violation near my neck and screeched her infamous catch-phrase, “That’s rude!”
Confused, I stared back and replied at the same decibel level, “No it’s not! It’s plaid!”
As she dragged me to the principal’s office, all I could do was cry for my mom. I needed a representative that knew how to use a dictionary — there were some things I had to look up.
