Some things that I find normal in my everyday life seem to amuse and mystify my good friend and co-blogger, Kat.

Today we were discussing end of high school pranks and I mentioned this one prank:
"One year, the seniors managed to print out a school bulletin which stated we had a casual (we wore school uniforms) day the next day. So the rest of the school came in dressed casually and we were told it was just a prank, but we would still have to pay a gold coin ($1 or $2) to charity for coming to school in casual."

Because we wore uniforms every day of the year, the Overlords of the school would sometimes pity us and allow us to wear casual on certain days. But, in order to do this, we had to donate a shiny for the greater good of charity.

To which Kat said:

"So, you have to give a gold coin in order to dress casually? I've never heard anything like this in my life. Thats...gotta be illegal somehow. Making kids donate? What's the point of charity if you're required to?"
