Bee Day

The teachers at Matthew's school wanted to teach the kids what the world would be like with no bees. So to illustrate this they decided they would show the Bee Movie and call it "bee day". They wanted everyone to wear yellow or black or dress up like a bee. Matthew forgot to tell me and so when he woke up, he was a little sad he couldn't find a yellow shirt. I told him we could paint his hair black and put a yellow stripe down it. I decided he needed something else so I took yellow duct tape and wrapped it around him. He was not happy about the duct tape.
But I gave him a piece of candy and told him he better smile for the camera and when he got to school if he was still embarrassed he could take off the tape. If I wouldn't have been in such a hurry I would have made him wear an all black shirt which probably would have made the outfit look a little more like a bee.
When Matthew came home he said that he ended up keeping the tape on all day because, even though some kids said he looked creepy, most of them said he looked awesome! He decided that all in all it was a great day!
