AND wear make-up, usually not allowed.<br /><br />I love that silly "So everyone can participate in the fun." It's like there was a staff meeting and someone said, "We need to have a REASON, and it has to be a reason NO ONE CAN ARGUE WITH. No no---it doesn't need to make sense in the context. It just needs to SOUND GOOD."<br /><br />I agree with your theory: it sounds like it's a particular TEACHER who objects to Halloween.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11568193.post-2802667604530278812009-11-01T01:08:38.227-05:002009-11-01T01:08:38.227-05:00Double, double toil and trouble;
