Boys in skirts
May 10, 2007
Yesterday morning, I got a call from the head coach of the team my girls would be playing later that afternoon. She notified me that several of her players had been injured, or sick, and asked if I would allow her to use a couple of her middle school boys to replace them on the field. I agreed, of course. I hate to cancel games.
If you’re familiar with the sport of lacrosse, you know that girls are traditionally required to wear skirts/kilts along with their jerseys. Every player must be dressed identically, and even in this case, no exceptions were made.
If it wasn’t for the extreme height difference, the 6th-grade boys would have been much more difficult to spot among their female counterparts. I will openly admit that during many points in that game, I giggled a lot like the middle school girls.
