Another nutty news story.

I was browsing through the news headlines the other day, and ran across this one, which read, "Boy wears dress and heels to school, gets suspended". And my first question was, "Where were his parents?"

I know, I know, a parent's job is really tough... but I think my folks might have noticed if I headed out the door wearing, say, a tuxedo and a top hat.

At any rate, I read on and found out that the young man, Sam Saur, donned high heels and a dress due to "a challenge laid down by his mother". He'd told his mom that wearing high heels wouldn't be difficult. She dared him to give it a try. Not willing to stop there, he donned a dress as well, and headed off to school.

This guy must be REALLY secure and self-assured. I'm willing to bet the guys in my high school wouldn't have even considered it. But the school didn't see eye to eye with young Master Saur. They suspended him for the rest of the year.

Of course, I would have insisted on reading the school's dress code to see where it said a male student couldn't wear high heels and a dress, but the school must have had second thoughts without my help; they reduced his suspension to three days. "But Saurs won't be allowed to go to the ninth grade dance or the class party at Wild Waves."

But truth be told, he doesn't look half bad, does he?
