"Jon, what have you done? You know that you have to wear matching lingerie; you can't wear that pink bra with those black panties!"
It took Jon a second to catch on to what was happening: Karyn didn't realize that there was anything wrong with him wearing women's underwear to school or that it was odd that that was all that she was wearing.
"The flyer they send home before spring break clearly explained the rules of Spirit Week." Karyn handed him a flyer printed on bright pink paper. It read:
"Monday - Welcome back from Spring Break! There is no theme for Monday other than welcoming each other back.
Tuesday - Wear lingerie to school day! Students and teachers will come to school only wearing lingerie. (Lingerie must be worn in matched sets. If you do not own lingerie you are permitted to borrow some from friends or family members.)
Wednesday - Boxers only day! Students and teachers will come to school only wearing Boxer shorts. (If you do not own boxer shorts you are permitted to borrow some from friends or family members.)
Thursday - Come as you aren't day! Students and teachers will come to school dressed as somebody they aren't. The more differently dressed from the way you normally are the better.
Friday - Everything you know is wrong day! No hints. Friday's theme is going to be a total surprise to everyone and one that you'll be sure to be talking about for years to come."
In small print at the bottom Jon could just barely read "Participation in each day's theme is mandatory. The school takes no responsibility if any changes made on Friday are undesired by the individual, embarrassing, or irreversible. We do our best to ensure that any changes are not harmful or painful but we can not make any guarantees about any individual's personal experience."
"What kind of fucked up Spirit week is this?" Jon asked after he'd finished reading the flyer.
"What do you mean? It's not that different from last year's Spirit week. Our school has always been a little odd." Karyn said, confused by Jon's sudden change of heart. As far as she remembered Jon had been excited to get a change to wear his sister's underwear even though she'd offered him some of her's to wear.
"Now hurry up and get changed into a matching set before we're late for school." Karyn said giving him a gentile push back toward his sister's room.
