On Wearing Clothes Right-Side Out...

In my defense, this sweater is one of those oversized wrap-around deals with lots of weird buttons around a faux cowl neck collar. And I put it on right before walking out of the house.

Riley: "Um, Ms. Sefcik, um your tag--you have shirt on inside out."

Me: "Um. No I don't."

Riley: "Look, even the seams are on the outside."

Me: (checking my shirt in confusion) "But....the buttons..."

Diane: "Look--there's a tag right there."

Me: "Huh. Oh."

Riley: "HAHAHA Ms. Sefcik has her sweater on inside-out!"

Kyle: "I was going to say something this morning, but I thought you did it on purpose, to be cool or something."

Me: "Haha, well, I am pretty cool."

Riley: "Are you going to go change?"

Me: "Eventually."

Diane: "You know, maybe you should reconsider us having to do this essay now."

Me: "Why would I reconsider that?"

Diane: "Not only do you not believe in Santa Claus, you can't even dress yourself. Maybe you shouldn't be telling us what to do."

Me: "Um, nice try."

I leave the students in the librarian's capable hands and go to the main office bathroom to switch my sweater.

Me: "Are you both ready to laugh?"

Receptionist 1: "Oh yes!"

Receptionist 2: "Sure--what happened?"

Me: "It was just pointed out to me that my sweater is on inside out."

(both look at my sweater for a second, confused, then I pull on the cleaning instruction tag sticking out from my side)

Receptionist 2: "Oh my gosh! That is too funny! How did that happen?"

Me: "I've only ever worn this once before, and I must have hung it up inside out on the hanger. I threw it on and ran out the door, never looked at it once, and assumed I had buttoned it correctly."

Receptionist 1: "Well, it looks reversible, like the material is the same on the inside and outside."

Me: "Well, I'm going to fix it."

I walk toward the bathroom and hear:

Principal: "Hey, Stephanie, wait!"

I turn around, thinking oh my jeez, what if this is somehow a violation of the dress code or something? to find him holding his iPhone up, wanting to take a picture. I'm sure this will be in its own section of the Yearbook on a page entitled something like "Ms. Sefcik--General Life Failures."
