I am safe but so many other teachers are not. Painful. What was lovely was seeing how many kids wore pink to school to support their teachers.

Up un...To All--on the subject of men wearing pink. Up until the early 1900s, PINK was considered the correct color for boys, and blue for girls.<BR/>Herewith one explanation from the Internet:<BR/><BR/>"At one point pink was considered more of a boy's color, (as a watered-down red, which is a fierce color) and blue was more for girls. The associate of pink with bold, dramatic red clearly affected its use for boys. An American newspaper in 1914 advised mothers, "If<BR/>you like the color note on the little one's garments, use pink for the boy and blue for the girl, if you are a follower of convention."

I admire your husband for wearing pink also. I work in a pretty progressive office and my boss once wore a tie with pink in it and staff (all women!) gave him such a hard time that he never wore it again!! Geez...<BR/><BR/>Have fun on your date-night!possumladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060146825196164963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-79795918431897283722009-03-13T15:53:00.000-04:002009-03-13T15:53:00.000-04:00Err--Philip--you actually leave me speechless.

I was smiling..... waiting... but you never got there. I guess I should let it pass. No, I can't resist.<BR/><BR/>To be "in the pink" metaphorically means to be in a good place (Happy) Literally, it means to be just inside the female vagina. Having been in a cow's vigina up to my elbow I assure you it is a "good place" warm and moist and soft oh, so soft and silken.<BR/><BR/>Your use of pink is used "au contrare" a bad place, an alert of the possibility of being laid off. I trust teachers will be saved from any lay off. It is interesting that no politician will ever be laid off. They are definitely in the pink.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-20321086706754722892009-03-13T14:43:00.000-04:002009-03-13T14:43:00.000-04:00So sad...I pray this all changes soon.
