Friday Flash 55 - An "Exposing" Journal Entry

Parent/Teacher meetings were something we always looked forward to.

One particular experience, our son's journal was opened to his October 27th entry.

"I might be Superman or The Phantom for Halloween.

I know I don't want to be a woman and wear a dress

like my Dad likes to do."

Explanations were interesting...

This is for Friday Flash 55.  (Tell a story in 55 words or less!)

If you have time, here is the

EXPLANATION!!...

This was for a fundraiser for a local hospital.   It seems the "mystique" of Marilyn Monroe is still quite alive and sought after...  It also seems a man dressing up as a woman is always entertaining and it did raise a lot of money.

My husband has dressed up as the "Church Lady" which is my personal favorite and he also has created a character "Helga" which is the female cousin to "Hans and Franz".  "She" wears a woman's one piece swimming suit.  Aren't you glad I chose the above as my example?

That very same conference, we visited our daughter's second grade teacher.  She told us of a "Show & Tell" incident which my daughter "spilled the beans".   My daughter slipped it in between the events of the holiday break, "We went to the beach, we collected shells, my dad says mom has a boyfriend, and we saw a new movie". (we were and still are married) ...

EXPLANATION:...

I used to watch "The O'Reilly Factor" every night and my husband said everyone had to be quiet while Mommy's "boyfriend" was on TV. (don't razz me about watching Fox News!! :)

I can just imagine the teacher's gossip in the break room!  :)
