During spirit week in high school, there was a day we had called "City Slickers" day. During the announcement for it, the girl doing the announcements was like "so wear your best studs" (that's what I thought she said), so that whole night was spent looking for everything gangsta: trucker hat, chains, the whole nine yards. I even drew a fake tattoo on my arm to spice it up.
The next day, I walked into school flaunting my gangsta getup, only to see some girls wearing dresses and boys in suits and other dressy outfits. I didn't immediately think anything of it until I walked into my study skills class. The teacher pulled me aside and was like, "Steph, why are you wearing that?" and I was like "Because it's City Slickers Day. I thought that meant we could dress up gangsta?" She got so pissed, and I was mortified! lol Luckily, I got away with a warning instead of a detention - but that was my first period, so I had to spend the whole day looking like I raided Lil Kim's closet while everybody else was wearing dressy clothes. And no, City Slickers day basically meant "dress-up" day. Why tf couldn't they have just called it Dress-Up Day???
