Yesterday was Spirit Day at school. Our Girls' Volleyball Team is going to State (or something like that) so all the students were supposed to dress in red, white and gold (the school colors) and a Pep Rally was scheduled.
After dropping Deanna and Dane off, Daelyn and I were driving through the parking lot on our way home. Several of the high schoolers and middle schoolers had on quite outlandish outfits. It was comical driving past them, looking them over.
Me: "They sure look goofy, some of them. They really went all out on their costumes."
Daelyn: "I don't understand. Why are they all dressed like that?"
Me: "Because it's Spirit Day."
Daelyn: "What IS Spirit Day?"
Me: "It's a day of celebration. We celebrate our school."
Daelyn: "Mama, why would we want to celebrate spirits. Aren't they bad?"
Me: Silence. How do you respond to that?
