Remembering my messed up school.

Full of messed up rich kids. Or upper middle class kids. Or whatever the hell they were. Small number of middle class or working class kids, but not many in comparison.

I was supposed to give a report on a state, and dress up as something from that state. And fishing was one of the state’s big industries. So I dressed up like a fisherman. Wearing what I thought were pretty normal clothes for being out on a boat. That I got from my own closet.

Kid in my class, who knows about the reports, sees me. Does a double take. Says “So, are you supposed to be a junkie, or are you a bum?”

WTF.

I’m guessing he’d never seen normal working clothes in his life?? Idk. Everyone there seemed to have parents who were CEOs, executives, doctors, lawyers, etc. Not technicians and respiratory therapists. Certainly not fishermen.
