(who never liked me anyway..) mainly out of, I would surmise, personal pique at the "disruptive element" (that would be me) who had dared to show his flashy boots to one and all--and worse, I made loud noised in the hall with the heels--or so it was claimed. Said geezer principal however made the mistake of calling my Mother to come pick me up. Needless to say she arrived loaded for Bear, pointing out that since the school didn't have a dress code he should take the proverbial hike!LOL!
