In The Fashionista's Closet: Tales of a 5th Grade Weedhead

My sister called me and told me that a new kid enrolled in my nephew's school today.

Top: Vintage

Skirt: Vintage

Belt: Can't remember

Shoes: Michael Kors

New kid asked my nephew where he got his shoes and if he wanted to sell them.

Nephew says no and new kid asked if he wanted to buy some weed.

Umm yeah, weed.

My nephew is in the 5th grade and even though I work with elementary school kids I couldn't believe it. Because my family lives in a small town I didn't think he would be confronted with that type of thing until he was older. It actually hurt my heart that he was put in that situation.

My nephew told his teacher about the exchange with the new kid and the principal called my brother in law to tell him what a great job he and my sister are doing as parents to raise such a responsible kid. I guess all's well that end's well....

but why do I want to find that kid and beat him up?
