Well, you sent me away to school b/c you were ashamed of me and now you are saying that I can only come visit if I behave and look according to what you feel is 'normal'. No way, Jose. Things can get wacky around here with the teachers, but there is one thing they stress more than reading, writinging and 'rithmatic. It's acceptance. Acceptance not just of others, but of yourself too.
Which means if I go, I'm going as ME. Purple skin, purple hair and all the plaid glitter you can't stand. And if you don't like it, well, a friend of mine here is from a Samurai family. He knows who makes the BEST katana's.
But y'know...I'd rather have your acceptance than any amount of a bribe.
