Comment: I do not like pretense. I hate it when folks play dress-up for any reason. Probably why I can't stand being around Harley-Davidson types for too long.
But dress-up is not always just about the "hats people wear at/to work" (f*ck I hate that descriptor).
Sometimes folks play make-believe dress-up as a means of deferment.
A student once came into my office to ask for permission to miss my class for a second time in the same week.
I asked her why in a concerned tone.
I asked her why in a concerned tone.
"Because I do not feel like myself today," she replied.
"Who do you feel like?" I asked.
She sat there for what seemed an eternity staring blankly at my persistent face.
I relented and broke the impasse in her favor.
She dropped my course.
Onward!
