14. Our high school principal made sure the skirts we wore were not too short.

We had to kneel on the floor and if our skirts didn't touch the ground we got sent home.

We outsmarted the principal because we wore longer skirts but as soon as we
left the house in morning at the bus stop we rolled up the waistband to get the skirts nice and short.

And when we got off the bus coming home from school we let down our skirts so our parents didn't see
how short the skirts were.

If we got called into the principal's office with the report of a short skirt we just rolled the skirt waistband down.
Went to the principal's office looking all innocent.

Our principal was such a godamn dufus.
