My dad burst into the office, out of breath, asking, “What happened to my daughter? Is she okay?” The principal cleared her throat and said, “We called you because her skirt is too short.” My dad turned to me, his eyes scanning my outfit.
He paused, then turned back to the principal and said, “What about the boys walking around in tank tops and shorts? Are you calling their parents too?” The principal frowned and began lecturing about dress codes, but my dad interrupted, “If my daughter’s outfit is the biggest problem in this school, you’re doing great.”
