Part of my job is to attend the graduation ceremony for my feeder high school. So today I put on my gown and hood and watched as about 700 kids crossed the stage to get their diplomas. Funny part is I taught a few of the kids when they were in 3rd grade. WOW! Now that'll make you feel old.
The next best part was the shoes. The other principals and I sat on the floor on the side where the graduates came off the stage. I started to notice the shoes - lots of sparkles, glitter, and very high heels. I wondered how many mother/daughter throw downs went on before the ceremony over choice of shoes. Here are the notes I made regarding shoe choice at graduation: taller does not necessarily mean better, not many colors look that great with the crimson red gown, and if you are going to wear 4 inch heels try a practice run through the house before you make the long trek across stage.

How funny!! Remember we couldn't wear anything but black pumps.
And remember how hungover we were at our "practice" run through? I think you showed up in boxers and a tshirt. I really do.
Yes, I remember the only black pumps rule. Do you remember having a send off party for Justin H. since he was joining the Marines just a few days later? I blame Justin for joining the Marines therefore forcing us to have a party for him. And Mel W. -since we had the party at Candice's while he was on a date with Patty. As for the t-shirt and boxers, I don't doubt it.
Funny story girls! I tried to comment yesterday but it didn't post for some silly reason. Ang, I think you should volunteer to attend practice next year offering up your wise tips. I know I had some other funny thing to say but it escapes me now. My favorite student ever graduated last week. We are old!
