picture day

A monumental event that takes place every year: picture day. So much time spent worrying about hair and clothes and smiles. This year I witnessed some things that, I have to admit, were a first for me.
Number 1: The BOYS being more concerned about their hair than the girls. I saw more boys run to the bathroom working on the perfect spikes and mohawks and gelled-up do's than I've ever seen before.
Number 2: Since hair gel technically isn't allowed at school, boys sticking their heads in the water fountain and bathroom sink to try to achieve those above mentioned hair statements.
Number 3: No joke, two boys literally ripped the top button off their shirts with their teeth so they wouldn't have to button it up.

And in the end, we all looked like dorks. I just laughed when I saw this picture. :)
